For John Henderson, a former prosperous lawyer and now a simple waiter, it all started with an email. An unknown woman claimed that John's son, who died three years ago, was in fact the victim of a killer. So the past, from which Henderson, it would seem, got rid of forever, with inexorable force pulls him into its terrible whirlpool, where the spirits of hell are the true rulers of the world, and people are just puppets, blindly obeying the will of an invisible master. Marshall's novels are an absolutely unique phenomenon in the world of a modern detective. Already his first large-scale thrillers promoted the writer to the leading masters of the genre. “The Earth will be your dust” is published in Russian translation for the first time.
