"Cannibals" is Viktor Myasnikov's very first and most shocking novel. He explains it this way: "The first reader is the publisher's editor. I immediately set myself the goal of coming up with a plot unlike any before and twisting it so that even the most seasoned editor, through whose hands hundreds of detective stories have passed, would be unable to tear himself away. I succeeded."
Cruel and even brazenly explicit clashes with enemies. The extremely hard-won triumph of good.
