Description
A novel by a professional psychologist with real experience working as a profiler. For fans of Mike Omer.
A gripping detective thriller about a girl profiler’s unusual abilities, using psychoanalysis methods to solve nearly hopeless criminal cases.
At first, there were three victims. The killer killed women with special cruelty. One was found in a river, the second in a waterfall, the third in an Abkhazia ravine. Cut hair, disfigured faces, unusual ugly wounds on the body—all of it suggested the killer had a distinctive signature.
But this happened more than six months ago. Precious time has been wasted to catch the criminal; the investigation is at a dead end.
Now there’s only hope for a miracle—or… the methods of profiling specialist Kira Vergasova are ambiguous and unclear, they drive colleagues crazy—but they are the only thing that can still produce results in this difficult case.
Very soon, Kira realizes that all these months the investigation hasn’t been moving in the right direction. And after the appearance of the fourth victim, she understood: the killer isn’t just a maniac—he is a real inventor of torture.
Why is she so sure? Perhaps because she herself was once in the role of the victim—and she knows how an inhuman monster behaves when it smells blood…
— “A gripping journey through the tangled labyrinths of a feverish psyche won’t leave detective and thriller fans indifferent. Incredible intrigue, well-drawn characters, subtle psychological depth, and an adorable romantic line make the novel impossible to put down. Thank you very much for this wonderful novel—I read it with great pleasure.” — Anastasia246, a LiveLib expert, 1st place in TOP-1000
— “People are often more aggressive than animals. The book’s heroine follows a bloody trail of a modern Jack the Ripper operating in the south of Russia. She hunts, matches clues, chases down leads, and—at the same time—feels, falls in love… In short, she lives by that same ‘hour of full life’ that O’Henry once wrote about. I wish readers of ‘Gen of the Phoenix’ an exciting read!” — Chief editor of Finversia Yan Art
