THE ILLEGAL CONSUMPTION OF NARCOTICS, PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES, AND THEIR ANALOGUES CAUSES HARM TO HEALTH, THEIR ILLEGAL TRAFFICKING IS PROHIBITED AND CARRIES THE LIABILITY ESTABLISHED BY LAW.In Frank Thiel’s new thriller “Vertigo,” the author succeeds in creating a chilling and simultaneously suffocating atmosphere of a slammed trap. The novel’s protagonist, mountaineer Jonathan Touvier, who has conquered the planet’s highest peaks, one night suddenly finds himself chained to a rock in a strange cave with its exit blocked. Around him are cold, ice, and darkness; nearby are his dog and two strangers: one, like Touvier, is chained to the rock, while the other can move but wears an iron mask with a combination lock that will explode if, in search of rescue, he crosses the red line.
