Antiparallel

A Murder Mystery Where Love, Science, and Secrets Collide.

Vladivostok, 1991. The Soviet Union has collapsed, and in this remote Russian port town, everything is changing. Old loyalties are crumbling, new identities are emerging, and beneath the uncertainty lies a tangled web of love, ambition, betrayal, and murder. As its characters navigate complicated relationships, shifting moral boundaries, and the changing place of women in society, their lives become entangled in a mystery where nothing is quite what it seems. At the heart of this chaos is a man whose fascination with Rosalind Franklin and her overlooked contribution to the discovery of DNA's structure borders on obsession. But what does a scientific discovery have to do with murder in a town struggling to reinvent itself?

Blending dark humour, romance, historical intrigue, and unexpected twists, this unconventional murder mystery explores the absurdities of human nature, the search for identity, and the uncomfortable truths hidden beneath love and ambition.

Because sometimes, the most complicated mysteries aren't written in our DNA. They're buried in the choices we make.
