Under the Pale Light of Fear

Lada has already cursed herself a hundred times for her helpfulness: why did she tell her friend Rina that the apartment next to hers was available for rent? Rina's brother Stas immediately rented the place and began to persistently court Lada. Not wanting to spend the evening with him, she went to her mother's place, and during her absence, Stas died after drinking poisoned wine. He actually preferred stronger drinks; who was the wine intended for — perhaps for Lada herself? Or did Stas, who was a journalist, suffer due to his investigation? Lada and other acquaintances of Stas, inadvertently drawn into this story, are trying to clarify the circumstances of the journalist's death — and, unwittingly, they are putting themselves in mortal danger... Popular writer Evgenia Gorskaya presents a new thriller novel “Under the Pale Light of Fear” from the series “Tatiana Ustinova Recommends.” Its characters are our contemporaries; they live in Moscow and go about their usual business until a dangerous and unpredictable investigation bursts into their ordinary existence.
