History has never known more sophisticated and cruel games: one human death for one piece of the puzzle. And only when the puzzle is put together will it be possible to find out where the maniac hid his victim... It’s like tearing out the heart of a living person. A serial killer and maniac nicknamed Doctor Clean (witnesses claimed that he always smelled of detergent) kidnapped and hid the wife of policeman Svechnikov. No one knows where the unfortunate woman is, or whether she is even alive. The maniac is detained, but remains silent. Svechnikov is not allowed to interrogate, and he is already on the verge of complete despair. Out of despair, the policeman arranges for the monster to escape, hiding with him in an abandoned hospital. Now no one will stop you from snatching the truth from the Doctor of Purity. But the maniac does not reveal the truth, but... sells it to the policeman piece by piece. The price is unthinkable, monstrous, inhuman. But what lengths can a policeman go to in order to extract information about his wife from a sadist? As it turned out - for everything. Now they are together - Doctor Clean and a policeman. They will both go to the end... Shimun Wrocek is a science fiction writer, author of 10 novels, 3 collections of stories, Roscon laureate.
