In Vitaly Mikhailov's puzzle thriller, children disappear from locked rooms, and the hands of those who are intended as future victims are covered with black sores in the form of keyholes. There is no salvation, only reprieve: if not you, then someone else. In a cinematically calibrated series of dreamlike-surrealistic episodes, the protagonist painfully searches for both the one responsible for the theft of the children and the one who will help him open the locked room of his own unique and paradoxical consciousness.
The mind is a locked room from which it is impossible to escape. The protagonist is only sixteen, but he has already become a celebrity: he was awarded a book dedicated to his own gift-curse, a rare syndrome - the inability to remember any name, including his own, combined with outstanding mathematical ability. In pursuit of a dark force that is kidnapping children, he must carefully count the doors of abandoned hotels and half-forgotten mansions in an attempt to curb his own memory and mind. This novel is a terrifying tale written by a skilled visionary.
