Forensic pathologist Dmitry Agranovsky discovers that behind several routine domestic crimes there is actually a serial killer who skillfully deceives the police. The case becomes even more complicated when it turns out this is not just a maniac, but an imitator. He doesn’t copy someone else’s style—he goes even further: he lives the life of the legendary serial killer John Christie, who hunted in England in the first half of the 20th century. To stop him, you must understand what he wants. To claim Christie’s fame? Or to frame an innocent person? And if so, what role will the kidnapped son of one of the victims—a little blind boy—be forced to play?
