During the investigation, he gets the feeling that some of the tragic events from Marina’s last days were arranged on purpose. At the same time, Mark realizes he is being pulled into someone else’s dirty business and decides to step out of it—he thinks, forever. But this story is only just beginning. A few days later, a killer bursts into Mark’s house…
“Cinematic! On a solid foundation of a high-tech thriller, the author built a structure out of human relationships, fears, betrayal, and friendship. A potential blockbuster!”—Anton Bogdanov, actor and director.
