Overview

Luiza Penni, znamenityy avtor detektivov o starshem inspektore Armane Gamashe, v novom romane podnimaet zhestkie i ottogo neudobnye voprosy. CHto utratilo i chto priobrelo civilizovannoe obshchestvo posle pandemii dvadcat' pervogo stoletiya, kotoraya nevol'no zastavila nas vspomnit' o mrachnyh kolliziyah Srednevekov'ya? Neuzheli napugannaya, sbitaya s tolku tolpa gotova poyti za novym liderom, kotoryy provozglashaet: «Vse budet horosho»? Horosho, no ne dlya vsekh... Epidemiya skhlynula. Nakanune Novogo goda v Kvebek po priglasheniyu pochetnogo rektora universiteta priezzhaet lektor, professor Ebigeyl Robinson. Tema ee vystupleniya vyzyvaet nebyvalyy azhiotazh, i rektor lichno prosit starshego inspektora policii Gamasha obespechit' poryadok v zale. Simpatichnaya Robinson prekrasno vladeet vnimaniem auditorii, nesmotrya na ostrye raznoglasiya sredi slushateley. I vdrug zvuchat vystrely... Podnimaetsya panika. K schast'yu, Ebigeyl dazhe ne ranena, no Gamashu prihoditsya prinyat' vse neobhodimye mery dlya ee dal'neyshey zashchity, hotya... poziciya professora vyzyvaet u nego (i ne tol'ko) kraynee ottorzhenie. Prisutstvie etoy zhenshchiny seet razdor dazhe v takom tihom meste, kak derevnya Tri Sosny. I nesmotrya na vse usiliya policeyskih Kvebeka, v novogodnyuyu noch', pod grom feyerverka, v schitanyh shagah ot prazdnichnoy kuter'my proiskhodit zhestokoe ubiystvo... V hode rassledovaniya Gamash intuitivno hvataetsya za maloveroyatnuyu versiyu, i eta nit' uvodit ego v proshloe, k strashnomu prestupleniyu protiv chelovechnosti, sovershennomu zdes', v civilizovannoy strane... Vpervye na russkom!
