The Condemned

A chilling true-to-life story of a wild, nightmare incident that happened on a stormy night in deserted mountain forests. The Ministry of Emergency Situations warning came already yesterday. A hurricane and rain lasting several days in a row raised the water in all rivers. Deadly mudflows fell onto the mountain slopes and into ravines. On duty that awful night, police major Mikhail Simonov received a worrying call from an unknown person: a girl is stuck in the mountains… she twisted her ankle… alone, in the dark Apsheron forest at the edge of a cliff, in the middle of the night and the hurricane. And she has panic. But she wasn’t afraid of storms… She was sure that something dark and terrifying—like a ghost—was chasing her. Mikhail keeps in constant mobile contact with the injured woman, hears everything that happens to her, and tries to save her at the cost of his own life and freedom. The thriller is written based on the film of the same name, starring Igor Savochkin, a star of “Admiral,” “Leviathan,” “Gromov,” “The Method,” and many others. The actor’s life ended a few months before the book was released.
