The fate of people, multiplied by the fate of the country. The events are real, but with fictitious names of the characters and with a truly detective story. ... the eighties of the last century. Ames Aldrich, an official of the US Central Intelligence Agency, handed over to Moscow a list of 25 Soviet high-ranking military and diplomats collaborating with the CIA. All of them, under various pretexts, were summoned to Moscow, arrested and, by decision of a military tribunal, sentenced to death. But in 1982, Yuri Andropov came to power in the Kremlin, striving to combine the impossible: to save the agonizing Soviet regime and not completely ruin relations with the West. Some of the officers, whose names and surnames were transmitted by Ames, were pardoned, replacing them with long prison terms by execution. Among them is the hero of the novel, Lieutenant Colonel Andrey Markelov, whose betrayal during the years of his service at the USSR Embassy in Washington was a passionate love for a charming young pianist. What's next? Revenge of the modern Count of Monte Cristo, miraculously survived? Or the second birth of the hero, accompanied by a new passion?.. A dynamic plot, bright characters and all this against the backdrop of the shocking truth about lawlessness at the state level. The story about alcoves is read in one breath - and not only! - the adventures of Alex, the Russian Casanova of the post-Soviet era, the hero of the stories from this collection. Ease of language and depth of thought - this is the author's style of Robert Yengibaryan, the creator of books that have already become popular with both Russian and foreign readers.
