This is an automatically translated description

Police officers also go to jail for the sins of their colleagues. This is what happened to Serhii Horilii: he served his time for his own and others' sins. He returned to his native Konotop to start his life from scratch. But he can't be anything but a detective. The opportunity came to prove it. A local businessman complained to the police: a woman, called a witch, had predicted his death. They laughed at the man, but he was really dying. The investigation is led by Horiloi's friend, who is also predicted to die by the same prophetess. And when this prophecy also comes true, Gorily realises that everything is serious. He doesn't believe in mysticism, he's looking for a rational explanation. But when the truth is only one step away, Serhiy himself receives the deadly prophecy...

Andriy Kokotyukha's novel The Prophetess continues the cycle of Gothic detectives, which includes The Legend of the Headless Man and The Secret Spring. The plot of the novel formed the basis of the series "Triple Protection", which premiered in 2016.
