About the book: 2024 / An 18-year-old boy dies in the yard of his own house. His death appears to be a suicide, and no private investigator finds any indication that anyone else is involved. Only three people do not believe in the version accepted by all - the parents of the deceased and profiler Taisa Skvortsova, who knew this family well. However, even Taisa is not ready for the monstrous crime hidden behind the “accident”. Realizing that she cannot cope with such a test on her own, the girl turns to Nikolai Forsov’s other students for help - although each of them is already busy with their own complicated investigation.
