Murder in the publishing house
9.99 €
A mystical yet ironic detective story about books, secrets, and words that can become reality.
Kostya dreams of writing books, but ends up working at a publishing house—the place where manuscripts go from concept to shelf. It seems like the usual editor's routine awaits him: revisions, deadlines, authorial whims, coffee on the run, and conversations about literature. But in reality, he's been called to investigate a murder. A murder committed based on his, Kostya's, manuscript.
The investigation is led by members of the Special Department—they are the ones who prevent unspoken thoughts, pains, and desires from coming to fruition.
"We should fear not the dead, but the living, with their ambitions, hopes, fears, and experiences. That's why, in our line of work, publishing houses and mental hospitals are more dangerous than cemeteries."
Who killed the famous writer? What are his colleagues hiding? And can we trust those who are used to masterfully working with text and meaning?
