A sharp telephone call roughly pulled Savely out of a sweet dream into harsh reality. The news was not very comforting. On the Embankment, not far from the water utility, workers were clearing the area of leaves and came across a woman’s hand. Based on her external condition, the expert realized that she had been in the water for a long time. Parts of male bodies had been found earlier. The phalanges of the fingers were missing from all the upper limbs, cut off with a handsaw... Serial murder? At the meeting, it was decided to combine all the incidents into one case. Will the police really have to look for a person suffering from a mental disorder? Why does he deal with victims in this way? And why does he throw the remains into the river instead of burying them in the ground? Editor's comment: Bloodthirsty, frightening, stunning - and impossible to put down. Perhaps these are the words that can be chosen for Oxymoronov’s brutal thriller, which grabs the attention of the unsuspecting reader from the first minutes. Reaching the finals means really getting on your nerves.
