According to readers, Przemysław Piotrowski is a more popular thriller writer in Poland than Stephen King, Remigiusz Mróz, and Wojciech Chmielarz. His detective story "Plague" was recognized as the "Book of the Year 2021" in the 7th edition of the largest and most prestigious in Poland lubimyczytac.pl plebiscite.

"Plague" by Przemysław Piotrowski is the fourth volume of the best-selling crime series with the uncompromising and brilliant inspector Igor Brudny, who solves criminal cases that would seem impossible to solve. According to readers, it is the most interesting character and the most engaging "Book of the Year 2021" in the "Crime, sensation/thriller" category. Przemysław Piotrowski won in this competition against the most popular and most widely read Polish and foreign writers.

"This award is a great surprise for me. The competition was amazing, so the nomination to a small group of TOP10 is already a great honor. The readers decide about the triumph of a given book, so the greater the joy that the winning was not entirely influenced by the popularity of a given author. It would be a miracle to defeat Remigiusz Mróz, and yet the nominees included the legendary Stephen King, BA Paris who sells huge amounts of thrillers, or our master of the spy novel, Vincent Severski. I still do not believe a bit and I hope that this award will convince those who are not yet fully determined to my humble person, and the series with Commissioner Igor Brudny will also appear on their shelves," Przemysław Piotrowski said.
