In Moscow, an hunt is underway for beautiful people: an actress is killed, a TV host dies, a mannequin… They have nothing to do with one another, and the investigation soon reaches a dead end: contract killers dissolve into the fog, the innocent confess to a murder they didn’t commit, while the real criminal, on the contrary, leaves the courtroom for “lack of evidence”… It’s a complete failure. For operatives Maria Karavay and Andrey Yakovlev from Petrovka, this string of setbacks is nothing new: they can’t let unsolved cases go. And trying to find the “root of all evil,” they discover a thin thread leading into the “wild 90s,” in those times when the victims didn’t even exist yet… A long-ago crime, conceived as a good deed, turns into a tragedy, drawing in more and more people into its vortex. And this is only the beginning… To break the catastrophic chain of events, the innocent must die. And among them may be Andrey… Every book by Darya Desombre proves: among Russian authors there is now a master whose works are on par with the level of world bestsellers by Dan Brown and Arturo Pérez-Reverte. “The Creator’s Error” is a novel in the best traditions of the intellectual detective genre: there’s a sharp intrigue, classified scientific information, and shocking historical details… Darya Desombre is an author of aesthetics. In her novels she consistently—and unmistakably—tells about beauty: about great art, about an hitherto unknown history, about piercing scientific thought, and about the beauty of people… Even if sometimes that beauty turns out to be brutally cruel. As in her new book “The Creator’s Error.”
