A Real Policeman

Police major Danilov is a brute and a coward. But, as the saying goes, he’s in good standing with his superiors. However, an unexpected act during a major sweep ruins his future. Now he has only one chance to keep his freedom—agree to take part in a mysterious experiment. The choice is small, but something goes wrong: during the experiment, Danilov suddenly loses consciousness and wakes up in his own past. It’s October 1995. He’s thirteen again, and there’s exactly one week until his younger brother disappears without a trace and his mother commits suicide. The chance to prevent what once forever changed your life is a great gift—except that fighting the past turns out to be far from simple. Long-forgotten details take on a new, sinister meaning, and the events that are rising again are rearranged in a monstrous way, bringing the catastrophe closer to repetition. All that remains is one fragile hope: at thirteen, try to become the person he never managed to be in adulthood—a real police officer.
