In different parts of Europe there are murders with absolutely identical handwriting. DNA analysis gives a sensational result and points to a criminal who is... dead. This was one of Yona Linna's old cases, and the man's death is beyond doubt. No one except Yona himself. Is it possible that one of the most dangerous maniacs, like the biblical Lazarus, has returned from the other world? In the seventh book about John Lynn, we again meet with a terrible criminal for whom it is not enough just to kill. He takes away from his victims all the people dear to them, depriving them of the meaning of life and driving them to suicide.
