Description

Lada has cursed herself a hundred times for being too helpful: why did she tell her friend Rina that the apartment next door to her own is for rent? The place was rented immediately—by Rina’s brother, Stas—and he began courting Lada in an intrusive way. Not wanting to spend an evening with him at all, she went to her mother. While Stas was gone, he died, having drunk poisoned wine. In fact, he preferred stronger drinks—so who was the wine meant for? Maybe for Lada herself? Or did Stas, who was a journalist, suffer because of his investigation? Lada and other acquaintances of Stas, drawn into this story against their will, try to clarify the circumstances of the journalist’s death—and, without realizing it, are taking a deadly risk… Popular writer Yevgeniya Gorskaya presents a new fast-paced thriller, “Beneath the Pale Light of Fear,” from the series “Tatyana Ustinova Recommends.” Its heroes are our contemporaries: they live in Moscow and do their usual things, until a dangerous and unpredictable investigation crashes into their familiar lives.
