Diego Ramírez has exactly ONE rule for his day off: no detective work. The enthusiastic Spanish waiter promised his boss Matteo he'd spend the day being a normal tourist in Kraków-visiting monuments, taking selfies, staying out of trouble. Simple, right? Wrong. Five minutes at Wawel Castle, Diego witnesses what looks like an international art smuggling operation: a nervous Italian man exchanging a briefcase full of medieval dragon replicas in a shadowy transaction. His inner detective (and inner chaos) immediately takes over. Armed with broken Polish, theatrical hand gestures, and absolutely zero investigative training, Diego launches his own amateur investigation. He follows suspects through Old Town. He takes "covert" photographs (that are anything but subtle). He accidentally crashes a midnight exchange at Market Square. There's just one problem: Diego's investigating completely innocent people. But while chasing the wrong suspects, Diego's chaotic "evidence gathering" accidentally captures ACTUAL criminals in the background of his tourist photos. Now he's tangled in a real police investigation, trying to clear the people he wrongly suspected while helping catch thieves who definitely don't want a clumsy Spanish waiter ruining their plans. Between fountain mishaps, pierogi-related disasters, and one very exasperated police inspector, Diego proves that sometimes the best detectives are the ones who have no idea what they're doing. A FREE comedic mystery spin-off from The Bellini-Zielińska Mysteries series. ✨ New readers welcome! No prior knowledge needed-Diego's enthusiasm (and confusion) transcends everything. 📚 Love Diego?
