The Dania Gorska series follows its title character from The Polish Detective (2018) through five more novels: Clearing The Dark, The Family Business, The Murder Stones, The Unexpected Guest, and The Maze. Each book presents a new case set in and around Dundee, with Gorska’s dual perspective as a Pole in Scotland adding texture to the investigations.

The series benefits from Hania Allen’s own background — she draws on both Polish and Scottish cultural details to create a setting that feels lived-in rather than tourist-brochure. The crimes themselves range from family secrets to cold cases to the kind of rural mysteries that small cities are particularly good at hiding.
