Lera is a single mother who became a mother at 17. Valeriy is a businessman who owes the state tax payments. Aleksei is Lera’s former classmate—and now a detective investigating the case of murder in the stairwell of Lera’s building, as well as the case of an attack on her herself. Vadim is an FSB lieutenant colonel. And of course, the mysterious Voron. How do the fates of all these people intertwine, and what do life turns and love have to do with it? Is everything that looks white actually white? How many shades can the black wing of Voron have? Answers to these and other questions will be found only by reading this book. Part Two.
