ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIn this exciting and masterful thriller, Ian Manook takes us on a frantic journey through Mongolia made up of both the nomadic tribes of the plains and the inhabitants of Ulaanbaatar, a nest of crime, vice and racism, where the level of vileness in all spheres makes police work a quixotic challenge. In the inhospitable vastness of the Mongolian steppes, a family of nomads makes a gruesome discovery: the body of a five-year-old girl buried along with her tricycle. Commissioner Yeruldelgger, a temperamental type marked by tragedy and whose work has pushed him almost to the edge of insanity, observes the crime scene with a mixture of infinite perplexity and exhaustion. Just five hours earlier, he was in Ulaanbaatar, in the offices of a Chinese company, investigating the appearance of three savagely mutilated corpses, and now, for some strange reason, his boss has taken him off the case. This doesn't mean, of course, that a guy like him is going to sit idly by. Determined to illuminate this monstrous crime that makes his stomach turn, Yeruldelgger begins a parallel investigation with the collaboration of Inspector Oyun, who is intrepid, cheeky and slightly in love with him, and the coroner Solongo, with whom the commissioner maintains a complicated romantic relationship. Little by little, unexpected links between the two cases emerge, and on the way, they'll cross paths with low-level puppets, a network of unscrupulous politicians, and businessmen who put business before human life. Ultimately, the most troublesome will be the police corruption that sustains the diabolical structure, willing to do anything to maintain the status quo. Thus, from the shadows, Yeruldelgger and his team will risk their lives to bring the truth to light and rid the country of a plague that seeps through its deepest fabric.
