About the book: 2019 / Every day in any country, in any city, people disappear. They disappear into the darkness. No one, including the police, knows why or understands how this happens. And soon almost everyone will forget about these missing people. Everything, but not Mila Vasquez. Seven years have passed since the events described in “The Prompt,” but the darkness does not let go of Mila, it leaves traces on her skin, perhaps because the roots of evil have reached out to her soul. Remembering the disappeared is her job. These people look at her from the walls of the Hall of Lost Steps. But one day those who disappeared appear again. To kill. They look exactly the same as before. But Evil irrevocably changed them. The investigation into the crimes they committed comes to a standstill. And only Mila Vasquez is able to stop this army of shadows. She must give form to darkness, formulate a convincing rational theory... The theory of evil. For the first time in Russian!
