Dmitry Savochkin’s new novel may well be the most psychologically precise conspiracy thriller in Russian literature in recent years. A tightly wound plot is only the beginning. The deeper you go into it, the clearer you understand that you’re dealing with an adventurous book that is at the same time very philosophical—a highly unusual and original reflection on the plurality of worlds in our universe and on the role of human initiative in global preordination.

The novel’s hero is a “black” archaeologist specializing in Third Reich military dog tags. One day— for a staggering fee—he takes on an odd job: to find a girl who has committed suicide. To find her alive. And along the way, it won’t be only people who get in his way…

Fans of popular TV series with million-strong audiences worldwide—“The X-Files,” “Sliders,” and “Fringe”—will undoubtedly love this novel and find plenty of interesting ideas and thoughts in it. The novel keeps you in suspense until the very last page, but it doesn’t let go afterward either, changing once and for all the traditional way people look at familiar things and phenomena.
