Estonian author Eet Tuul has released "Disciples of Anubis," the eleventh installment in Marko Tammik's popular crime thriller series. The novel delves into the lives of Kalju and Maimu Sepp, a couple in their golden years who yearn to escape the bustling city center of Tallinn for a tranquil life in the countryside.

Their son, Taavi, also relocates to their rural home, Huntaugu farm, in Tagamรตisa village. Initially, the move appears promising, painting a rosy picture of their new life. However, the family gradually senses that beneath the surface of this seemingly idyllic and friendly existence, the village harbors deep-seated intrigues and inexplicable malevolence.

The narrative takes a dark turn when Taavi witnesses a murder in the nearby woods. He considers himself fortunate to have survived the encounter, adding a layer of suspense and danger to the family's rural retreat.
