A Credit of Credulity

The topic raised in the new novel by the most iconic contemporary writer Tatyana Ustinova and the most famous lawyer Pavel Astakhov is familiar to many firsthand. Probably because the story told in it is extremely serious and painful for most of us—after all, in one way or another, many of us have taken out loans. Someone got out of the “loan trap” without losses; someone, on the contrary, lost a lot—time, money, health! Judge Lena Kuznetsova will have to decide the fate of Viktor Malyеshev and his children, who are about to lose the apartment bought once with a mortgage. At the same time, her sister falls into the hands of loan fraudsters. Lena is a judge and must be impartial, but she so wants to help Malyеshev—who, without thinking twice, threw himself headfirst into all life tragedies and troubles at once. She will find a solution to the most difficult puzzle when there is hardly any hope left for reconciliation and a favorable outcome of the case… In a creative duet, the most iconic writer of our time, Tatyana Ustinova, and the most famous lawyer, Pavel Astakhov, came together. The novel, born from their pens, strikes with the authenticity of details and the piercing depth of the main heroine’s image—the judge Lena Kuznetsova. Each book is devoted to a topical, sharply social theme.
