The Rich Kid: Die to Be Born

Igor Sokolovsky is young and wealthy. Doors are open to any place for him, a banknote from his wallet solves all problems, and life seems easy and simple. And it’s all thanks to his father. He wants to make a real man out of his son and sends him to serve as a junior operative in a district police department. One phone call from the father is enough to change the fate of any mortal. Igor doesn’t suspect that a time may come when his father’s call will change not only his circumstances—but his own life as well. And put him face to face with death. For a very long time, Igor won’t even understand whether he’s following the trail of death—or whether death is following his own steps. The TV series “Major” is one of the most popular projects of Channel One, also shown on the American streaming platform Netflix. Millions watched it, and in 2017 it received the “TEFI” award. Igor Sokolovsky’s book is based on the TV series “Major.” You can expect a bright, tightly wound plot about the eternal standoff between the world of big money and glossy surfaces on one side, and the world of ordinary people on the other—where honesty, love, and courage are the guiding principles. The charismatic main character faces no easy path: from an infantile, arrogant “major” he will turn into a real man capable of taking responsibility for himself and his loved ones.
