In early autumn of 1981, party and Komsomol officials begin dying one after another in Ternopil Oblast. The cause of death: drinking water from the spring of St. Barbara, near the village where the bodies are found. According to local legend, the water has magical properties - it prolongs the life of the pure-hearted and kills the wicked. Has someone declared a secret war on the authorities?
What secrets lie within the dense forest hiding the spring? Detective Igor Knyazevich from Kyiv is assigned to investigate the case. He arrives in the enigmatic village of Hayvoron, cut off from the big cities, where the locals live by their own laws and are deeply suspicious of outsiders. 'Secret Source' is a retro-style detective story blended with Ukrainian Gothic, transporting readers to the recent past. It offers a glimpse into the final days of the Soviet empire, helping those who lived through it to remember and those who didn't to understand its downfall.
