Фотографът: Obscura reperta

Anton Apostolov, a photographer whose genius has earned him a solid name, picks up a trail he has been seeking for months: a legendary eighteenth-century manuscript that explains how the Face of Death can be seen. Its author, the alchemist Nino Golyardi, spent fifteen years among the Nilotic peoples of Africa and, before he left, tore the work into three parts so it would never fall into the wrong hands. Anton feels nearer than anyone before him to finding all three. Another hero, Solomon Goldberg, receives an unusual inheritance that lets him piece together a puzzle leading towards answers about death. How far can a person go in search of eternal beauty, and what is left of them once the unreachable is reached?
