Description

Oleg Shishkin’s fast-paced spy detective story—a television presenter on “REN TV”—about a mysterious Mayan artifact that unexpectedly ends up with a special services officer.

If you enjoy spy tales in which mysticism is woven into the plot as elegantly and precisely as in Graham Greene, then this book is for you.

A tense detective story with a light magical touch and meticulously crafted details, from which it’s hard to tear yourself away.

The adventures of a Soviet agent in Spain in the 1930s and of a young journalist in Russia in the 1970s are intertwined in this novel into a tight knot of espionage, mysticism, and luxurious texture—so that even Graham Greene himself would likely smile in approval, if he managed to travel through time with the help of the mysterious Changer and read this story.

A golden idol of an ancient Mayan civilization, after centuries, comes into the hands of the protagonist, changes the future according to newly revealed laws of physics, and casts on events a fantastical, bloody shadow.
