"Goddess of Victory"
Young Nika grew up in a foster family and after her mother's death, she found herself on the street: those whom she considered her family kicked her out of the house and forced her to sign a waiver of property rights. It's the "dashing 90s" outside, she can't find a job, there's no money, and no roof over her head. In complete despair, hungry homeless Nika agrees to have dinner with a cheerful drunken stranger and, finding herself in his apartment, accidentally finds a hiding place, and in it - a bag of diamonds. They are clearly of criminal origin, and Nika does not feel guilty, running away from her new acquaintance with precious stones in her pocket. She doesn't know yet that diamonds are never lost without a trace, they are always sought after, and then blood is shed...
"Elixir of Immortality"
Special intelligence agent Sergei Frantsev and his daughter Nika quickly leave London, leaving behind two corpses and Scotland Yard on their trail. In Russia in the early 90s, where big money and bloody chaos reign, it seems easy to get lost. But this is an illusion. From London to Moscow, from Davos to Tokyo, from Kyiv to Geneva, there is a fierce battle for priceless Yakut diamonds and a race for the secret archives of Stalin's personal doctor. At stake is not only victory, but life itself... This is what Nina Pushkova, the author of "A Novel with a Postscript" and "The Goddess of Victory", translated into several European countries, tells about.
