Leaving behind her native Warsaw, she arrives in London, determined to uncover the truth – and she’s certain that a celebrated writer called Steve holds the key to Janek’s disappearance. To fund her DIY investigation, Zofia takes on a string of cleaning jobs – a professional trajectory she finds very much beneath her.
