Kryminał
Maciej Kaźmierczak
Teodor Okrutny po piętnastu latach wraca do znienawidzonego Skraju. Musi się zmierzyć z trudną przeszłością i zbrodniami, które nie powinny ujrzeć światła dziennego. Okazuje się, że ktoś odnalazł ciała dawno zapomnianych osób, a świadkowie giną w niewyjaśnionych okolicznościach. Skraj jest miejscowością, do której się nie wraca. Albo tutaj się rodzisz i tutaj umierasz, albo w przebłysku samoświadomości uciekasz, a rodzina i znajomi z dnia na dzień o tobie zapominają. Aspirant Teodor Okrutny miał nadzieję, że już zawsze będzie należeć do tej drugiej grupy. Okazuje się jednak, że musi wrócić, chociaż nie podoba się to nie tylko jemu, ale też nienawidzącej go społeczności. Do kogo należy odnaleziony w lesie fragment ciała? Dlaczego po zabezpieczeniu go komendant posterunku zaginął, a pod lasem została zamordowana przypadkowa osoba? Teodor Okrutny obawia się, że ktoś poznał jego sekret sprzed lat. Tym bardziej, że mogą się z nimi łączyć sprawy, przez które ucierpią kolejne osoby.
