When thirteen-year-old Kostya Lapshin and his friend Maxim Kupriyanov go missing in the forest, the local authorities of the district town of Chaginsk write everything off as an accident. They got lost. They ran away. Why return to this wilderness? Having become an accidental witness to the tragedy, Victor and years later can not forget what happened. A daring investigation brings him closer to the truth, but what price will he pay for it? "The story, an unwitting witness and participant in which I became, does not let me go even now, after almost twenty years. Moreover, the pictures of that strange and terrible summer are before my eyes, and I cannot rid myself of the feeling that they haunt me. It is as if a tinkling thread, to which I carelessly clung on the shore of the distant Ingir, were dragging behind me, pressing me, giving me no rest, pursuing me through time in an incomprehensible way, and what happened then is behind me today. It is not to say that those few days fundamentally ruined my life, however, it definitely veered off its own path. In all my failures and mistakes I see the shadow of that June, in every defeat - the trace of that defeat, the good that could have come true, but did not and will never come true. That summer was my last summer, since then I've been walking through the fall, and my paths are getting shorter and shorter. New days frighten me, I hear hopelessness in the steps of days gone by, and nothing can be fixed, I've accepted it long ago. But I want to understand. I want to understand who exactly was behind this. And this isn't even about justice. Thousands go missing in Russia every year. Some are found, some are found later. The rest are never found. What happens to these people remains a mystery. In June of the year 2000-01, I came into contact with the mystery, and the mystery poisoned me. I only felt it then, for a brief moment, but today I am sure that for the only time in my life I encountered real evil. And, it seems, this evil put a deep test on me..." The new novel by Eduard Verkin, the famous author of teenage prose, and the author of the bestseller "Sakhalin Island" - this magnum opus, a whole world, which reflected our present and past. The monsters from children's fairy tales exist. And they are coming for you...
