The terrifying, lengthening list of Russia’s use of lethal poisons against its critics has inspired acclaimed author Sergei Lebedev’s latest novel. With uncanny timing, he examines how and why Russia and the Soviet Union have developed horrendous neurotoxins. At its center is a ruthless chemist named Professor Kalitin, obsessed with developing an absolutely deadly, undetectable, and untraceable poison for which there is no antidote. But Kalitin becomes consumed by guilt over countless deaths from his Faustian pact to create the ultimate venom.

Profesorul Kalitin este un chimist sovietic fără scrupule, obsedat de crearea unei otrăvi mortale, care să fie imposibil de depistat și fără antidot. Când înțelege câți oameni mor din cauza lui, este copleșit de vinovăție, iar la destrămarea URSS fuge în Vest. Deși primește o nouă identitate, e deconspirat și implicat în ancheta asupra uciderii a doi agenți occidentali. Iar pe urmele sale pornesc doi ucigași din forțele speciale, care vor să-i administreze chiar otrava creată de el.
