Description

In the post-war Moscow region, a maniac appeared. He kills his victims—teenage girls—with special cruelty: he gouges out their eyes, cuts their mouths, and then strangles them. Even the pioneer leader Olya nearly fell into the killer’s hands—by accident she ended up in the forest. Only by a miracle did the girl stay alive. Her friend, Kolya Pozharsky, burns with the desire to catch the criminal himself, a man who seems to him to appear at every step. He’s ready to sit with the police in ambushes, take part in sweeps, and chase suspicious types. But the killer each time remains invisible and elusive. The young detective is already close to despair when fate provides him with a real chance to stop evil…

The atmosphere of the formation of the post-war generation—close to many readers—when the spirit of youth and freedom intoxicates you. When the step from “everything is allowed” to “stop, I’ll shoot” is only one step. Criminal novels about a time that still remains tenderly preserved in many families. Characters reminiscent of the iconic images from the film “Farewell, you hoodlums from Zamoskvorechye.”

“In Valery Sharapov’s novels, the feeling of time is so tangible that it seems, just a bit more—and you’ll find yourself among the heroes of these books: calm investigators, cunning criminals, terrified citizens. And desperate detectives will take you for one of their own and immediately pull you into the next dangerous operation…” — Sergey ZVERЕV, author of action novels
