Someone Else's Pain

"The Pain of Another" is the first book of the “Vidoc” crossover series, where you’ll be drawn in by a sharp detective plot, dark secrets, and investigations that keep your attention.

Yevgeny Vasilyevich is an ordinary office employee whose life has long been settled. But everything changes when terrorists blow up the office, and, finding himself at the epicenter of the explosion, the hero hears a strange voice offering to swap bodies. Yevgeny agrees… and finds himself in another reality and in a different body. From now on, he is Ignat Dormidontovich Silaev. And he works as a Vidok: that’s the name of a person who at the scene of a crime can see what happened to the victim.

On the calendar—October 15, 1895.

The one who has been thrown into another world needs to get used to life in a new reality and to serving in the county police administration of the city of Topinsk. Perhaps helping to catch criminals is the very chance Yevgeny has been waiting for. After all, for already two years he has lived with the awareness of guilt—he lied in court in the case of the murder of a girl. Now he will have to atone for this sin in a parallel reality, hunting mad “streakers” of hair, fending off werewolves, and taming house spirits.

What fate awaits him? Listen…
