Rating of the Dark Deity

Could Katya Perovskaya, an employee of the Press Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, have thought that the most ordinary sauna could become a true vision of hell? No wonder — four hanged young men sway over the pool. Even the seasoned head of the 'killing' department, Nikita Kolosov, felt chills running down his spine at such a sight. And what about the man with a knife in his chest found in a nearby cemetery? Or the photograph where a group of exquisite ladies and gentlemen sits at a lavishly set table, with a corpse in a tuxedo lying in the center? There is no doubt — all these are links in the same chain, but where does this chain lead, into what depths of human passions? What dark flame rages there, demanding more and more victims? Questions, questions, questions… And the answer, as always, is unexpected and… horrifying. The novels of hereditary investigator Tatyana Stepanova allow the reader to experience a literary 'room of fears.' Mysterious murders, an almost tangible atmosphere of crime, a painful and anxious anticipation of something unknown, terrifying... All this Tatyana Stepanova manages to reproduce brilliantly. Casual encounters, everyday affairs, insignificant details are depicted in her mysteries in a special, dramatic light, as if an innocuous spring meadow before an impending storm.
