Description

Kolka Pozharsky, along with his friends, goes on a hike along the river and stops for a rest near the hydroelectric facility by a small settlement. It turns out the place is a strategic site, and the guys are persistently asked to leave the territory. But they don’t manage to go—before their eyes, under mysterious circumstances, a local teacher is killed. Soon comes the news of an officer’s murder as well. And then someone knocks Kolka out and throws him into a pit. What’s more, the friends notice that an unknown person is secretly eroding one of the dam supports—too much like preparation for sabotage. The boys decide to dig for the truth, not realizing how dangerous their opponent is.

This is a coming-of-age story about the post-war generation—a time when freedom and youth can make your head spin, and the line between “anything goes” and “stop—I’ll shoot” turns out to be very thin.

Criminal novels about an era that many families still lovingly remember, with heroes reminiscent of iconic images from the film “Goodbye, hooligan from Zamoskvorechye.”
