Summary
Arkady Renko returns in this tense, political thriller about what it means to fight for truth and justice in today’s Russia, by 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 as the war in Ukraine gains momentum and his son Zhenya becomes involved with the Black Army, a Russo-Ukrainian group of hacktivists. Moreover, as he digs deeper into Alexei Volkov’s murder, he realises that the man's death may have been more politically motivated than he first assumed, and that the people behind it now have him firmly in their crosshairs – but this time Arkady's life is not the only one on the line.
