Two teenagers shoot dozens of passengers on a high-speed train. A crazed Howard Phillips Lovecraft fan sells human skin. Every now and then the corpses of those who clearly died of unbearable horror are discovered. All over France, seemingly sane people are staging mass massacres. What happened? Has the world gone crazy? No doubt, but that's not the only answer. There is an evil will looming behind the rampant madness, and Ludivine Wanker, an employee of the Paris investigation department, will have to look the bearer of this will in the face — and such a face cannot be a mortal person... In Maxim Shattam's world, true evil is never alone. True evil is always a conspiracy, a clever and terrible plan, the fruit of the joint efforts of those who consciously or unknowingly are in the union of predators. But who reveals to predators their true nature, who encourages them to act? In the second novel of the Paris Investigation Department series, the devil himself seems to be pulling the strings. The translation of the novel "The Patience of the Devil" is published in a new edition.
