This story is about how one terrible event tied together several human destinies, dooming them to slow and inexplicable death. Throughout the entire novel, the author seems to make a neat cut into the reader’s imagination, frozen in horror. So that in the finale the bloody truth of a life doomed to suffering would splash out from the open wound... He became an involuntary witness to this incident in early childhood. Then, in that terrible place where the first blood was shed, he, a little boy, was simply not noticed. But he noticed everything, down to the smallest detail. And I remembered. And then suddenly I felt an irresistible desire to take revenge. Revenge is long and sophisticated. To everyone who humiliated his painful pride with their neglect. As an adult, he began to invent a variety of methods of punishment. But mindless killing did not give him any pleasure. Even when he tried on the masks of real serial killers and maniacs. And suddenly he realized: a new, special game is needed... One where the victim herself becomes his own executioner...

I would like the reader to periodically take his eyes off the book, look for a few seconds into the space in front of him, and say: “It can’t be,” he lowered his eyes and plunged into reading again. After all, in the world around us there are so few moments that can surprise a modern person. (From the author) I advise you not to open this novel if you are not on vacation. Otherwise, you risk getting a fine for being late for work, because you will definitely oversleep: this book cannot be put aside without reading to the last page. (Henry Cyril, author of the thrillers “The Scenario”, “80 Cigarettes”, “Bad Child”)
