2018, Nizhnedvinsk, Northern Russia. Tomas Narvydas, travelling incognito, an intelligence officer of the Deep Geopolitics Department of the Lithuanian Security Service, follows the trail of the dead colleague. A year ago, in this city close to the Arctic Circle, his teacher, boss and friend Leonas Nevardauskas was found drowned in the river. At first glance, the death looks like an accident, but what was this man doing alone in a remote Russian province? Why was a belemnite stone, also called the devil's finger, found in the deceased's pocket? What secret is encoded in several pages of a manuscript found in a drawer? Suspicions grow stronger: a yellow folder that unexpectedly reached Tom's colleagues through an agent working in Moscow mentions the sending of a Russian agent to Nizhnedvinsk to carry out the "Devil's Finger" operation. So Tom embarks on a labyrinthine journey towards the truth through the darkness of Russia and his own past.

Non-traditional (of an unclear genre, multifaceted) book - lots of philosophizing, existential reflections, pompously described historical moments and conspiracy theories, etc.
The story is told engagingly, expressively, but there's too many digressions into memories and side stories - it feels like it's overdone.
