The follow up to Lazarewicz's harrowing Żeby Nie Bylo Ślad 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 c l 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.
