One of the first novels by a famous author about modern criminal Russia of the "bloody 90s." This novel is somehow the least known in the entire series of more than 10 works. Afanasyev loves grotesque, loves burlesque with phantasmagoric heroes. In his books and detective, and mysticism, and drama. A love story overcoming death; the tragedy of the soul lost in the dark is about this criminal-mystical novel, in which many will see their lot.
