Ikar

by Russell Andrews

Kumirom detskikh let Dzheka Kellera byl Ikar - pobeditel' vysoty, geroj grecheskikh mifov, slishkom blizko podletevshij k Solntsu. Sam zhe Dzhek ispytyval boleznennyj strakh vysoty posle togo, kak man'yak na glazakh mal'chika ubil ego mat', vykinuv zhenschinu v okno semnadtsatogo etazha neboskreba, a potom popytalsya sdelat' to zhe samoe s Dzhekom. S tekh nor proshlo tridtsat' let, i Dzheku Kelleru, schastlivo zhivuschemu v brake, preuspevayuschemu biznesmenu, pochti udalos' zabyt' o tragedii, kotoraya proizoshla s nim v detstve. Odnako proshloe vozvraschaetsya samym uzhasnym obrazom. Nekto, znayuschij o detskikh koshmarakh Dzheka, namerenno prevraschaet ego zhizn' v ad, ubivaya blizkikh Kelleru lyudej. I, chtoby vyigrat' skhvatku, Dzheku Kelleru pridetsya ne tol'ko najti prestupnika, no i pobedit' svoj strakh vysoty.
