The Silence of the Sphinx

An ancient legend says - the untold treasures hidden in the estate will go only to the one who takes the life of a priest, a beauty, a master… Is there anyone in our rational time who would believe in... all this nonsense? But terrible things are happening at the Lesnoe estate: a local priest has died, a beautiful woman has been murdered… Head of the homicide department Nikita Kolosov and Press Center employee Katya Petrovskaia have no doubt - the criminal will not stop at this. They need to track him down as quickly as possible. An ancient spell guarding the treasure will help with this: it directly indicates who will be the next victim… The novels of hereditary investigator Tatyana Stepanova allow the reader to experience a literary 'room of fear.' Mysterious murders, almost tangible atmosphere of crime, agonizing and anxious anticipation of something unknown, frightening... All this Tatyana Stepanova manages to reproduce remarkably. Random encounters, everyday matters, insignificant details are depicted in her detective stories in some special, dramatic light, as if an innocuous spring meadow before a rapidly approaching storm.
