A Dark Dark Man

When a child is murdered in Aul, detective Bezkat, true to his style, tries to close the investigation as quickly as possible: after all, they have already arrested a possible culprit. However, when a young journalist, recently arrived from the city, starts to question the methodology of the veteran detective, everything will start to fall apart. Bezkat will be facing, for the first time in her long career, a real investigation.
