Passan is confident that Guillard is the killer, but bringing the suspect to justice is not so easy. Meanwhile, Olivier Passan discovers that terrible, mysterious events are taking place in his house, and, apparently, the killer is approaching his closest and dearest people - his wife and children... For the first time in Russian! A new masterpiece from the master of the action-packed novel!
