Die Toten vom Djatlow-Pass

In February 1959, the bodies of nine young hikers were found at an icy mountain pass in the Ural Mountains – barefoot, radioactive, and with mysterious injuries. "Death by freezing" is the official version. But where do the broken ribs and fractured skulls come from, and why are the dead found far from their camp as if they had fled? Even today, the deaths of the group fuel speculation: Was it murder? An avalanche? A failed rocket test? Or even the Yeti? Alexej Rakitin reopens the case after reviewing the previously classified files and uncovers a unique lead that takes him deep into the shadowy realm of Cold War espionage.
