The follow up to Lazarewicz's harrowing Żeby Nie Bylo Śladóoacute;w (Leave No Trace) depicting the case of the political murder of Grzegorz Przemyk-which earned Lazarewicz the Nike Literary Award in 2017--Did This Hand Kill? focuses on the case of Rita Gorgonowa, a cause céeacute;lèegrave;bre of the interwar period in Poland. Gorgonowa, a governess having an affair with her employer, was accused of brutally murdering his daughter, the 17-year-old Lusia on New Year's Eve in 1931. Despite her claims of innocence, Gorgonowa was declared Poland's ultimate villain, and eventually convicted. But questions remain about this case--the most notorious murder trial of the Second Polish Republic--along with questions about what exactly happened to Gorgonowa post-World War II. Lazarewicz revisits the crime with a contemporary lens and recreates the furor and celebrity revolving around this murder.
