Translated
A few years ago, detective fiction aficionado Malcolm Kershaw compiled a list of the genre's most puzzling crimes - those that are nearly impossible to solve.

He called it the 'Eight Perfect Murders'. But the biggest surprise came to Mel, now the owner of the Old Devils bookstore in Boston, when an FBI agent showed up on his doorstep one snowy day.

She's investigating a series of unsolved murders that bear eerily similar resemblances to the crimes on the old list. And it seems she's not the only one interested in the bookseller who spends his evenings alone with a book in his hands.

It seems that a killer is also following Mel - one who knows a dangerous amount about him, even the darkest secrets hidden from everyone. To save himself, Mel begins to look for suspects himself... and sees a killer in everyone. Suddenly, new victims appear - and the noose around the bookseller's neck tightens so tightly that it may be too late to escape

One day at the train station, the witch saw a woman with a small, confused girl coming down the escalator. All eyes were on the newcomers: an escort group immediately lined up behind these two, and later a journalist ran up to the young lady. The stately lady seemed to be preparing for such a turn of events...

She loudly addressed those present with a statement: next to her is a Ukrainian girl, Kateryna, from near Luhansk, who was evacuated to Russia. Now the little one has no reason to worry, because opera singer Rimma Korsakova herself is taking on her upbringing, instilling in the girl a love for her 'native land'!

Year: 2025 | Pages: 320 | Origin: UKR | BA Seq Num: 91198

And what if adults need a vacation too? They need time to unwind, have fun, and get distracted. To figure out themselves and within themselves. To make a decision. Vacations are needed by those who attend psychotherapy sessions, hoping to resolve problems in the family, and by those who still have hope of earning the approval and love of their parents, and especially by those who are going through a failed romance, running away from work, and inventing a game where they observe people, but in the end they themselves become a part of it.

Summer vacation is about new acquaintances, romantic adventures, and cold drinks, but sometimes it's also about broken hearts and rejection, love triangles, and loss.

Summer vacation for adults is a cocktail of long conversations, forbidden desires, and difficult choices.

But adults have one advantage - they can do anything if they take responsibility for it
