Post-Cold War Eastern Europe is eager for Western development and hard currency. Governments are cutting deals to get America and Western Europe to invest, and pressuring officials up and down the line to make sure development runs smoothly, no matter what.
Sarah Leonard is an American businesswoman in charge of a major hotel chain's expansion in Poland. She's personally supervising the construction in Warsaw, because if the job doesn't come in on time and under budget, Sarah would be quickly unemployed.
A headless body is discovered in a sewer tunnel at the construction site. His companion says the man was searching for a child he'd heard crying in the tunnel. Polish authorities pressure the Warsaw police to solve the case quickly, even if they have to invent a murderer. They soon turn up evidence that more than one person has disappeared or been slaughtered near the hotel site. When Sarah also hears the child weeping in the tunnel, she insisits on joining the police investigation in exploring underground Warsaw.
The story of the tunnels begins with the legend of the Tunnel Child, a horrible, murderous creature with the face of an angel. Rumours insist that in World War Two the Nazis attempted to create such a being with their warped science. Is the killer Sarah and the police are chasing the product of a Nazi selective breeding programme, or is it the Tunnel Child, a legend that is not a myth but a reality?
