A mysterious death of years gone by,
Soviet agents and the rugged Ural
mountains – in other words, a full-blooded
historical detective novel.
Selling Points
 A suspenseful thriller stretching across
two time frames.
 A novel inspired by an unexplained
tragedy at the Dyatlov Pass in 1959 — one
of the great mysteries of the twentieth
century.
 The stifling atmosphere of a small town
where everyone knows one another, every
step is being watched, and the society is
ruled by the local mafia.
 Unconventional and multifaceted
figures – above all, the main protagonist,
a former militiaman trying to find his feet
in the new Russian reality.
 An interesting look at service in
the Soviet Union, and then in Russia.
 The gorgeous and rugged landscapes of
the Ural.
 The author uses a fictional plot to try
and solve one of the greatest mysteries
of the twentieth century, one Russian
authorities claim was cleared up long ago.
