About the book: 2017 / Closed space, random people, each of whom can become a victim and a killer - Vlad Yuryev plays out the classic detective story in today's scenery with characters that are easily recognizable as our contemporaries. The case of the death of the American illusionist, a colleague of David Copperfield, is being investigated by a group of participants in a psychological experiment. Timid, greedy, in love, selfless, intimidated - they are just people who have to disenchant the monsters that have settled in their own souls. This is much more difficult than fighting the ghosts that inhabit the Orangerie Hotel, and is it any wonder that not everyone will reach the finals??
