Description
This story could have happened anywhere, and the hero could have been anyone. Because cruelty, betrayal, and callousness have no geographical coordinates, no names, and no nationalities.
On the Dog Archipelago an incident occurs: three corpses are washed ashore. Three Black men—most likely illegal migrants—drowned before reaching the long-desired land where they hoped for a decent life. Influential people on the island decide to get rid of the bodies by dumping them into a volcano’s crater: no one is interested in an investigation, especially those who profit from the misfortunes of illegal migrants. But as always, among the crowd of cruel and indifferent people there is someone who craves justice. And as always, he’s doomed.
But there is a higher court—it won’t allow those responsible for the deaths of others to live peacefully. The island turns into a city described “in one Russian novel”: a dead city transformed into a Zone. A city where life will never return.
