Love. History. Crime. These are the three pillars on which literature rests.

And all these whales are present in the new novel by the Kapranov brothers The Case of the Grey One.

An underground anti-government organisation operates in Dnipro. A young investigator is instructed to deal with the main suspect - an old rebel with a long history of illegal activity. He gets down to business and…

It would seem like a classic detective story. But imagine that the young investigator is an employee of the GPU, and the main rebel is a prominent historian and archaeologist Dmitry Yavornytsky. And immediately everything turns upside down. Who is the real criminal? That is why the authors define the genre of their work as an anti-detective, and not just any anti-detective, but a historical, romantic anti-detective. Romantic - because the main power lines of the plot are love and ancient myths. And historical - because behind the interesting and intricate intrigue, the reader will be able to see a wide panorama of the history of steppe Ukraine, Katerynoslav-Dnipro, as well as the majestic figure of Dmytro Ivanovych Yavornytskyi.

And, of course, the book is based on real events, so mad love, father's curse, unequal marriage, sworn treasures - all this is not fiction, but the old truth, confirmed by documents.
