Лисицата

Somewhere in present-day Bulgaria, Nora Volpe, a woman seven hundred years old who has carried her love for her child across the centuries, starts a dangerous game to learn who her mysterious protector is and why she, of all people, is condemned to live forever. A parallel thread follows key moments of her long life and shows how the dream of eternal life became her curse. Treiman, a police psychologist who once played victim, judge and executioner and cannot escape his guilty conscience, investigates a murder by a cold-blooded, artistic killer who leaves him riddles to solve. The two find a difficult way to each other, while the novel weaves in the Chinese tale of a fox that knew the secret of the golden pill of immortality but chose not to use it.
