A Drop of Another's Guilt

Nostalgia for times that have already become history. The author describes the atmosphere of the era and the inner state of the characters so vividly that you believe him immediately and unconditionally. 1982. In the utility room of a bread factory in one of the Siberian cities, the chief engineer is found hanged. The first version is suicide. However, the young investigator Andrei Laptev, who has been assigned this case, thinks otherwise. The deceased had no serious reasons to take his own life. Moreover, there are signs of other people at the crime scene. What if someone helped the engineer to leave this life? Laptev begins to carefully investigate the circumstances of the incident and unexpectedly uncovers frightening details that, under Soviet law, have no statute of limitations… A unique opportunity to temporarily return to the recent past and, in a feeling of total reality, live through the most desperate period of the characters' lives together with them.
