Polyotov 2

Flight Returns— to finish the conversation to the point.

“Flight 2” is the story of how fifteen decrepit men in a smoke-filled office put a singer’s death to a vote: his songs wound more deeply than their medals. It’s a story about a man who knows in advance the date, the place, and the detailed script of someone else’s death—yet still can’t get through to a single number, because the system deals with its own faster than with others. The same system will suggest he find those who sent his woman under the bullets—and he will agree, because he has nowhere to put his anger.

Here is the love of two professional liars, who have long erased the line between work and genuine feeling. An airplane doomed to explode on landing, and the only survivor who will be broken over months of interrogations in a basement—because staying alive is more suspicious than dying. A late-night call from Israel and four words that could be true—or could turn out to be the last, desperate bluff.

For those who read the first book and decided they already understood Poletov: you only knew his shell. Now—welcome inside.
