A sniper shot the owner of a supermarket chain right in his own office; in broad daylight, the head of the biggest casinos and restaurants was sprayed with bullets from machine guns; the daughter of a respectable banker is threatened with abduction. Each of these violent actions bears the same signature. “So there must be some kind of plan connecting all these crimes,” decides the bodyguard of Yevgeny Okhotnikov. And she’s almost figured it out. An auction is coming for the sale of a controlling stake in an aircraft plant. Two murdered businessmen—and the banker as well—are the main bidders. Death of two will benefit the third. As for the kidnapping attempt on the banker’s daughter… Could it be a move to divert suspicion?!
