For the first time in Russian - a new sequel to “the best British detective debut in years” (Crimescene Magazine), “a razor-sharp noir, something completely out of the ordinary” (Lee Child). The first Aidan Waits novel, Sirens, became the top best-selling mystery debut of the year in England (100,000 copies in circulation), was translated into 18 languages, and is currently produced by Lookout Point Studios (A Suitable Groom, Gentleman Jack ") is preparing a film adaptation of the entire trilogy. Detective Constable Aidan Waits and his partner Detective Inspector Sutcliffe are temporarily removed from their usual night patrols. They are entrusted with a more important matter: to guard Martin Vick, a mass murderer dubbed by journalists as the Lunatic, who is living his last days at the hospital bed. Vic claims that he does not remember how he killed - he supposedly already woke up covered in blood; hence the nickname. But when a power outage plunges the hospital (and half the city) into darkness, an unknown attacker makes a daring raid on Vic's heavily guarded ward - and Sleepwalker's last words send Aidan Waits on a quest to find the real heart of darkness... "Joseph Knox is the best hope of the British crime novel , and Walking in the Dark is perhaps his best book.” (The Times).
