On the pages of the novel you’ll find: the Russian mafia, people from the KGB, persistent talented journalists, experienced and brave FBI agents, sports stars running drug smuggling, unscrupulous politicians forging a path to the summit of power through a mountain of human corpses, the widespread “coding” of undesirables and their colorful escape out of windows (starting, of course, with 1991), powerful psychologists with extrasensory talents, snipers and poisoners, prostitutes and transvestites… In short, everything except perhaps the powerful special-forces guys.
