“Dear readers, for me, as an author, this book is something special. I have long wanted to write a detective-thriller, where all the characters, our contemporaries - police officers, witnesses, suspects - match the characters of ancient myths. Step by step moving towards the truth, crime observer Ekaterina Petrovskaya and Colonel Hector Borschov, in search of the killer, become witnesses and participants in a bloody, deadly drama in which nothing can be predicted in advance. After all, the echo of the past is so deceptive, and the myth is unpredictable... Dear friends, together with the heroes of the book, I invite you to take a journey. The myth is closer than we think. It is sometimes scary, fatal. But it’s so interesting!” – Tatyana Stepanova
