The Raven Is Not Afraid of Blood

Maksim Voronov is a young but already seasoned operative, credited with no small number of solved cases, including a high-profile series of attacks on cash-in-transit workers. But his superiors have a steady dislike for the lieutenant: he’s too principled and attentive, and he may notice what others would rather not see. And in the department there’s something to hide—the influence in the city has not yet been finally divided between the police and local criminal forces. When Maksim falls in love with the investigator Varvara, the general’s niece, the tension only grows. “The higher-ups” decide to get rid of the troublesome subordinate in one move and set up a test for him—one that may turn into a real trap…

Another dynamic story about how feelings collide with the harsh laws of life and stand up to a test of strength. Power, love, nostalgia for the times when many things were decided by concepts and the word of a man carried weight.
