The Doomed Spring

Eldar Safarov, an employee of the Baku prosecutor’s office, is transferred to Moscow. Now he becomes an instructor in the administrative department. Here Eldar meets the diplomat’s wife, Svetlana. On the day he meets her, she learns that her brother, the well-known musician Vyacheslav Tomin, has been murdered in his apartment. Eldar promises Svetlana that he will take control of the investigation into Vyacheslav’s murder. He finds out that a few days before his death, the musician had been touring in Perm, where he met with the engraver of the Goznak factory, Petukhov. A few days after that meeting, Petukhov was also killed. Safarov realizes: these murders are connected and involve large—very large—money.
