Соломенные люди

Ward Hopkins, a former CIA agent, is shocked by the terrible news: his mother and father are killed in a car accident. He has almost come to terms with the blow of fate, when he suddenly discovers a cache in his father's chair with a note: "We are not dead." Then a mysterious video recording falls into his hands. It was then that he first heard the phrase about "straw people." Meanwhile, fourteen-year-old girls go missing in different parts of the country. Abductions have one thing in common: every time the kidnapper throws the missing daughter's sweater, on which her name is embroidered, to the parents. And instead of threads, the victim's hair is used. And again, in connection with each of the crimes, this strange expression pops up: "straw people." Marshall's novel is absolutely unique in the world of the modern detective story. This large-scale thriller immediately brought the writer to the leading masters of the genre.
