Since 2004, the publishing house of Dean Kunz in Russia has been engaged in publishing by Eksmo . His novels make up the series “Dean Kunz. Collection". Also in 2009, in the series “The Riddle Book, the Book of Mysticism”, his nominal series was opened - “The Riddle Book, the Book of Mysticism. Dean Kunz. "
