El rey de Varsovia

In the ring, Jakub Szapiro commands respect among the Jewish community, who regard him as a hero, but on the streets of Warsaw, where he operates as a hit man for a powerful criminal organization, he arouses utter fear. However, violence and intimidation have their advantages: Jakub lives in luxury, reveling in all the privileges that the world of crime has placed at his fingertips as Nazism looms over the country. And although he is aware of the situation, as he feels untouchable he refuses to leave the city that he considers his kingdom. Will he be able to maintain the prevailing hierarchy until then or will he succumb to this sinister new world order? Applauded by both the Polish public and critics, The King of Warsaw is an extraordinary book, heir to the best crime novel, which transports the reader to the underworld of Warsaw in the 1930s, combining historical accuracy and narrative expertise.
