In the heart of the Balkans, a city is being rebuilt in fake marble and gilded statues. But beneath the styrofoam facades of Skopje 2014, a dark legend is coming to life.
Inspector Viktor Nikolov is a man out of time. A veteran detective in a city undergoing a surreal transformation, he is suddenly thrust into a series of gruesome ritualistic murders that seem to target the very architects of the city's new, artificial identity.
When a prominent businessman and a powerful bishop are found dead, Viktor discovers that the clues lead to a decades-old tragedy: the story of a woman sacrificed to the concrete foundations of a rising monument. As the line between local folklore and modern corruption blurs, Viktor must navigate a labyrinth of political deceit, secret societies, and the ghosts of a forgotten past.
Inspired by the haunting Balkan myth of the Immured Bride, Immured in Baroque is a gritty, psychological noir thriller. It explores the high price of silence and the terrifying reality that some secrets are never meant to be set in stone.
Winner of record-breaking sales in its original Macedonian edition, this gripping investigation into the soul of a city will leave you questioning what lies beneath the surface of the world we build.
