Description

The Nekrasovs arrive at their seaside cottage hoping for calm days: a small town, a few neighbors, sea air, and sunshine. But instead of rest, they face a chain of unsettling surprises. First, in the living room, they discover a stranger’s mannequin—appearing from nowhere. Then it turns out that one of the neighbors had been sneaking into the house when the owners were away.

The situation quickly becomes much more serious when this neighbor is found murdered: he was shot and tied to a tree on a mountainside. The village is seized by fear, and an investigator who arrives to take the case is still unaware that the strange death of the local oddball is only the beginning of a far bigger disaster. This tense story shows how harsh circumstances mercilessly test human feelings.

The author’s books, in which strength, love, and nostalgia for times of strict rules and “real men” sound, have sold a total run of over 13 million copies.
