A 16-year-old teenager shot an entire family—his father, mother, and two little children—just for a car and so he could "live like a normal person" for a couple of days. The daughter "ordered" her parents because they were simply "getting on her nerves" with constant complaints. A student stabbed his teacher right in the classroom—just to "see how it would turn out." What is happening to us? Or has it already happened? How do we wake up the Human in a person? And is he even sleeping—or maybe he’s already dead? These are the questions the heroes of Sergey Teplyakov’s books in the trilogy "Dvuller" seek answers to.

The audiobook "Acetone Kids" is not just a detective novel—it is something more. Yes, there are murders, blood, and terrible deaths. But the author, Sergey Teplyakov, wanted to convey to the reader and listener something else—not merely to show an exciting detective horror. He very precisely determined the cause, the source of the problems that result in murders carried out by minors. A teenager who wanted to live like everyone else, get everything and right away, did not stop even at killing an entire family. His friends, afraid of being mocked, keep silent about what they did. They imagined themselves to be adults, judges of fate, kings of the world. Sergey showed the very core of the problem and offered a solution: to treat the souls of the acetone generation right here and now, rather than creating humane conditions for keeping them in prison. Just think—how bad was a teenager’s life when he was free, that he traded it for life in captivity and doesn’t regret it. And that’s frightening…

It’s very desirable to know what happened next to the hero of the novel. It’s desirable to know how life punished him. Because it can’t be otherwise…
