The author, hiding behind the pseudonym O'Sanchez, wrote a book about Crime - and not only about him. And although “Kromeshnik” has already been spoken of as the Russian antipode of “The Godfather,” behind the external detective nature of the narrative lies a deep psychological novel about existence on the edge of life and death, light and pitch darkness... The action of the novel takes place in the criminal environment of the fictional country of Babylon; in the center of the narrative is the life story of Kromeshnik - a criminal genius, a mysterious semi-demonic figure. The text of the book is presented in the author's edition.
