Staryi Sambir, Austria-Hungary, March 1905. On his way home from vacation, student Orko Lininsky witnesses the brutal death of a girl who seems vaguely familiar to him at the train station.

And when in the evening the gendarmes come to the Lininskys' house and arrest Orko's sister Dora on suspicion of poisoning her former classmate, the young man faces an extraordinary task: to save his sister from prison, he must immediately find another suspect! But who would commit murder in the sleepy provincial Old Town? Is it true that , as they say, devils are found in a quiet swamp?

The Case of the Black Brine, a retrospective that recreates the linguistic and cultural peculiarities of early twentieth-century sub-Davistrian Ukraine, invites readers to plunge into the unique atmosphere of the Galician province.
