Ковчег Марка

A snowstorm overtakes a group of poorly prepared tourists in the mountains of the Subpolar Urals, who have gathered for a hike “on the Internet.” Alla understands that the group is on the verge of death. They have a wounded man, and they can’t overcome the pass. Death, terrible, senseless, showers them all with an icy breath. The freezing group is found by Mark Ledogorov and escorted to the taiga cordon, more like an ark. It seems that a miracle happened, everyone was saved, but... who is this Mark Ledogorov? What is he doing here? Why does he shoot like a sniper, his cordon - or ark! - can’t be found on any map, but is there a groomed ski track laid in the deep taiga forest? When a mysterious and inexplicable murder occurs at the cordon, the matter becomes completely complicated. Mark Ledogorov is sure that all members of the tourist group are lying to him. For what purpose? Which of them ended up here not by chance? Mark and his friend Pavel will not only have to solve a terrible mystery, but also figure out themselves, find love and find salvation - after all, the ark was invented in order to be saved!.. The novel THE ARK OF MARK will cause real delight among lovers of exciting detective stories written in "murder in a closed room" style. The closest “relatives” of Tatyana Ustinova’s new novel are “Hotel at the Dead Mountaineer” by the Strugatsky brothers and “Ten Little Indians” by Agatha Christie. The characters in the novel THE ARK OF MARK, who are in critical circumstances (closed space, life-threatening events), are forced to simultaneously defend themselves from suspicion and fight for their lives. Readers of the novel THE ARK OF MARK are people with good literary taste, for whom books are not only a tool for spending leisure time, but also a source of new knowledge about life, love, and human relationships.
