Suddenly the Hunter Runs Out: [novel] / Yulia Yakovleva. — Moscow: Alpina Non-Fiction, 2024. — 384 pages. — (Historical Detective series). ISBN 978-5-00223-087-7 The first book in Yulia Yakovleva's detective series about investigator Zaitsev, set in the 1930s in Leningrad. The terror machine is already running at full force; imprisoned engineers have designed the Big House, soon to become the Leningrad OGPU headquarters. Purges are in full swing—in Smolny, the Public Library, Putilov Factory, and the Hermitage. Murders occur in the city: victims are found in strange poses and unusual clothing. Zaitsev suspects the killer recreates scenes from certain paintings. But which ones and why? The investigation is hindered not only by the killer's cunning mind but also by the law enforcement system itself. UDC 821.621.111-312.4 BBK 84(2=411.2)6-445.7
