About the book: 2007 / “She collapsed on the floor. Blood splattered all over the portrait. Meeks threw Psyche onto the polished floor. It seemed that the figurine fell with such a roar that a crowd of people should have already been banging on the door. But there was no one. It was quiet, but not like in an empty house or desert, but like at sea, where the waves silently rush onto the shore. Psyche rolled to the side and froze. There was blood running down the glass of the photograph...” Mix Sellini doesn’t like the number thirteen. Thirteen steps lead up to his apartment. He is disliked by the mistress of the house, who spent her whole life reading books. Meeks is in love with a fashion model who lives next door, and his small library consists only of books dedicated to the serial killer Christie. Both the landlady and the lodger live in their own strange worlds, but when reality invades Mix’s life, the anger that has been accumulating for many years bursts out of the depths of the subconscious. Ruth Rendell's psychopathic thriller "Thirteen Steps Down" - for the first time in Russian.
