The promises of the gods. Grange J.-K.

Berlin, 1939. In the city, one after another, nightmarely mutilated female corpses are found. The investigation is entrusted with a secret police, but it is completely at a loss. It is only known that all those killed belonged to the highest society; Everyone visited a very exquisite closed women's club; And everyone shortly before his death dreamed of an ominous marble man - either a killer, or a mirage, or a ghost. Serial murders must be disclosed at all costs, failure is fraught with punishment until the execution, and from hopelessness, investigator Franz Bivan, who does not know how to disclose real crimes, but knows how to knock out recognition from innocent people, combines efforts with two civilian psychiatrists.

The searches of the killer will lead these three extremely winding paths: together with them, the reader will come to a dead end more than once and eventually find the truth in very terrible parts. In his novel “The Promises of the Gods”, the recognized master of the European detective, the owner of numerous prestigious awards Jean-Cristopher Grange addresses the new genre of historical thriller-and hardly this undaunted evil researcher could find more suitable scenery. The victims and executioners who are standing each other, the all -pervasive paranoia and a solution that could not be dreamed of anyone in a terrible dream - Grange reveals all the horror of human nature, disfigured by unbearable circumstances.
