Valery Shtukin, a criminal investigation officer, is embedded in the structure of a former criminal mastermind and now a big businessman, Yungerov. He, in turn, sends to work in the police Yegor Yakushev, a guy whom he brought up like a son. From that moment the destinies of the two young men begin to tie into a tight knot, which is almost impossible to untie ... For Shtukin, the Junger system gradually becomes more his own than his native police system... Egor Yakushev successfully serves in criminal investigation. However, a conflict erupts between young people... "Since the writing of the novel "Own - Alien" has passed a decade and a half. Over these years, a lot has changed - and in the country, and in the world, and in ourselves. Nevertheless, this novel can not be called outdated. Of course, the Time itself, in which the events unfold, can already be attributed to a bygone nature, but it was not the first derivative of the creative intent. These novels are primarily about people, about human relationships and moral choices. "Own - Alien" is a story about how the story of "Gangster Petersburg" ends. This is the dying time of a short-lived (and thank God!) era, when ruled the ball heads of organized crime and those police officers who differed little from these leaders. This is a story about the clash of two ideologies, about how difficult it is sometimes to distinguish between "their own" and "strangers", about the fact that in our national mentality, friend or foe is sometimes more important than the truth. It is also a sad novel about an incredible, "arctic" loneliness.
