In Frank Tillier's novel Forest of Shadows (2007), elderly billionaire Arthur Dauffre decides, with the help of aspiring writer David Miller, to fulfill his long-standing dream: to resurrect a serial killer known as Executioner-125 on the pages of the book. As a result of this strange whim, David with his wife and little daughter, as well as Daufr and his young mistress, must spend a whole month in the German outback, the heart of the black forest. Cold, snow, chalet lost in the thicket. The writer enthusiastically takes on the story of a psychopathic killer, but soon it becomes clear to everyone that something strange is going on in the chalet, and some of the doors definitely shouldn’t have been opened... For the first time in Russian!
