The new detective novel by A. Borodyn is a vivid example of an interesting synthesis of a hard-boiled detective story, a light parody and an ironic narrative. The whirlwind of dizzying adventures that engulfs the heroes of this action-packed work is difficult to imagine even for the most experienced lover of crime reading. At the same time, the broad picture of the life of our society presented in the novel is always recognizable - after all, life is sometimes richer than any author’s fiction.
