The Zone holds many secrets—sometimes intuition and logic help you learn them… And a stalker nicknamed the Blind, unexpectedly for himself, turns into a real detective.
Escaping beyond the Perimeter after the events in the Valley of Bones, the Blind finds himself at the center of a complex operation someone among the owners of the Zone has set in motion outside it. Fleeing the pursuit, the Blind changes his nickname and goes deeper into the territory of exclusion. He has to solve a crime in a stalker camp, get entangled in clashes between groups, find the killer, obtain an unusual artifact, team up with the Chemist and the handful… In the Zone, strange things happen: hidden forces have entered into confrontation, and the hero together with two stalkers ends up on the front line of this undeclared war.
