In Tillier's new novel, Commissioner Frank Charcot and Lucie Enebel come into play again. Charcot's team is faced with strange and sinister circumstances: a pregnant young woman, whom a childless couple was ready to make rich, disappears from a room in a suspicious hotel; a mutilated body is found at the bottom of a hole dug in the forest; a man who knows the day and hour of his death eludes the police. And finally, they receive a letter, an ominous manifesto. Frank Charcot and Lucie Enebelle begin a dark race. The clock is ticking. Hell is just beginning. For the first time in Russian!
