There are many good people in the world. So many. Hundreds of thousands of times more than villains, maniacs and murderers. But it is good people who most often become victims. Victims of deception. Victims of tragic mistakes. Victims of a coincidence. Victims of villains, maniacs and murderers. The heroines of the stories from this collection walk on the razor's edge, at any moment each of them can become a victim. Some will be able to escape, others will not - everything is just like in real life. According to the author, some of them have real prototypes, and even most of the names are left unchanged. Irina Shishkovskaya writes amazing stories in which detective, thriller and mysticism are intertwined. Not in the classical sense, here you will not find physiological horrors, but there will be plenty of psychological ones. The collection includes both already known stories and new works by the author.
