It all started with a wealthy entrepreneur hiring a bodyguard for his young daughter. She went from Moscow far beyond the Urals to her friend—the daughter of a local oligarch. And it had to be arranged so that the girl would be guarded by someone reliable. With a pistol. But when this pair arrived at the place, the bodyguard instantly figured out that there was no threat to his charge—yet there was a person whose death literally followed on the heels of every step. He realized it right away because he was a real professional. In the novel “I’m a Bodyguard,” a popular TV series of the same name was made, premiering in 2008.
