About the book: 2011 / In the new novel by Yuri Arabov, the action takes place in a small town in the Kulunda steppe. It’s not even on the map, but people live here leisurely, go to the hairdresser, sometimes end up in the hospital... One day a traveling circus comes to Orleans - and mysterious murders begin to occur. And on the outskirts the quiet office of “executor” K. Gable appears. He knows incredible things about the residents, hands out his business cards to everyone and promises terrible punishment for their sins. Is this a cynical phantasmagoria or mysticism? As always, Arabov leaves the last word to the reader, without hiding a single most incredible fact. As always, there is some truth in the novel - Orleans has a prototype that exists on the official map of Russia.
