This is a story about a girl who has the gift (or curse?) to penetrate a person’s inner world with one touch. The first thing people notice is her hands, then her leather jacket, nicotine patches and limp. Some call her the reaper. How does the humanized chimpanzee's death relate to her family? She begins her investigation by coming into conflict with the most influential tycoon Zero. FIRST PLACE IN THE "NEFORMAT" COMPETITION ON SI. The novel can be purchased on Litmarket.
