About the book: 2021 / Businessman Georgy Karasev and his wife Ksenia, the author of colorful thrillers, are going through difficult financial times. The couple moves to a small town, which turns out to be far from harmless.

Crimes with a lack of evidence and bodies throw the entire police into confusion. Including after Ksyusha becomes the next victim. Her main goal is to stay alive. Will her writing experience help her deal with a real-life serial killer? Editor's Note: Rising suspense and sticky anxiety add even more monstrous edges to this blood-chilling thriller. You have to involuntarily associate yourself with the victim - the main character, who finds herself in the terrible clutches of a mad maniac. While the unfortunate girl frantically comes up with an escape plan, there is time to think: what would you do if you found yourself in the terrible lair of a madman??
