About the book:
A young and beautiful girl disappears into thin air. In the small provincial town, police and locals believe that she took the wrong path, the way of earning easy money. A journalist-researcher departs immediately in pursuit of her whereabouts. Guided by intuition, she is propelled from a bizarre dream into a series of adventures that culminate in an incredible revelation that leads to the discovery of the missing girl. She slips in a maze full of suspects, where everyone accuses each other and together at the same time composes a peculiar story with puzzles and riddles. She pursues the guilty suspect from clues that unravel into a ruthless game of cat and mouse. A weird connection ties her with the perpetrator. The show seems to be endless.
A town of mystery, with people who prefer to be tight-lipped, even though they seem to be aware of many facts. A hidden diary, with sins of the past and prophecies for the future. Intrigues, loves and passions in a tense, cinematic rhythm, while the suspense keeps growing.
