We guarantee: you’ve never read anything like this! A dizzying mystical thriller packed with black humor and scandalous parodies of modern Russian reality.
Saddam Hussein stars in a cheap advertisement. TV host Vlad Kistyov films the series “Doctor Trupa go.” Marilyn Monroe’s bust has been reduced to zero. Here there are monstrous traffic jams, a mobile network with bugs—“Hellaphone,” TV ads can’t be turned off, and beer is served ONLY warm. Surprised? But the real Hell is just like life on Earth—only worse. With one difference: it’s forever.
Devils and sinners in boiling cauldrons… didn’t you imagine the Underworld exactly like that? In vain. Yes, in Hell there are cauldrons—but only in the tourist district, where they take the fools from Heaven on paid excursions.
But one day, the measured existence of sinners in Hell is disrupted by an incredible crime—murder. Someone calmly destroys the most famous people in Hell using a mysterious substance. But how can you kill someone who is already dead? And most importantly—why? The investigation of this sensational crime is entrusted to the most successful hell detective—a former officer of the Tsarist police, Kalashnikov.
