Nikita Filatov's novel is dedicated to the last bloody episodes of the struggle of the special services of Russia and the Baltic states for control over the "black capital" of organized crime. The main character, lawyer Vinogradov, works in a world where human life means nothing compared to the economic interests of various political and criminal groups. Along with the novel, the collection includes three action-packed stories about Vinogradov's recent work as a private detective.
