The Pseudonym of a Stolen Life

Ivan Sergeyevich Korneev, a retired investigator, lives with his grand-nephew Sasha, a police trainee. Twenty-five years ago, Sasha’s father, Valera, disappeared under unclear circumstances, and his mother, Liza, ran away. At the time, Valera and his two friends—Sergey and Denis—were engaged in shady affairs. One day, they sold a car that had been stolen from a criminal authority—and that turned out to be the turning point. The consequences of that old crime still echo bitterly in many people’s lives, even, it seems, those who had nothing to do with it at all…
It was hard to imagine that the adventurous idea of putting a made-up criminal story on paper would suddenly grow into something serious and become the meaning of life. That’s how the creative path of the Russian writer Galina Romanova began. And now she is rightly considered a real expert in feelings and relationships. In Galina Romanova’s detective melodramas, burning love and a cruel crime intertwine. Everything is just like in real life! Tender feelings are tested by real ordeals, where the reward is nothing less than life itself. Each story is unique in its own way and doesn’t feel like fiction! And all of them are united by one overarching theme: real love always wins, and punishment inevitably follows the crime. The total print run of Galina Romanova’s books has exceeded 3 million copies!
