Arkady Renko returns in this tense political thriller about what it means to 
fight for truth and justice in today’s Russia, from one of the undisputed 
masters of the genre.   When Arkady Renko is charged with investigating the 
murder of Alexei Volkov – a wealthy Russian businessman and the son of Moscow’s 
mayor – he knows he has to tread carefully. Maxim Volkov is a high-profile politician 
and has a complicated relationship with Putin.

This investigation clearly has Kremlin 
approval, but, as with everything in Russia, things are not always what they seem.   
Already preoccupied with his developing Parkinson's, Arkady finds he has more to 
worry about. The war in Ukraine is gaining momentum, and his son Zhenya has 
become involved with the Black Army, a Russo-Ukrainian group of hacktivists. 
Moreover, as Arkady digs deeper into Alexei Volkov’s murder, he realizes that the 
man's death may have been more politically motivated than he first assumed.

Now it seems that the people behind the killing have him firmly in their 
crosshairs – but this time Arkady's life is not the only one on the line. 

There are so many options I'm not sure what to choose!
