Description

The legendary detective duo Leonov—Makovey. Colonel Lev Gurov from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is approached by Marina Zap’yantseva, the widow of a businessman. Unknown people kidnapped her daughter and demand a hefty ransom. There’s only one day to gather the money—and there can be no contact with law enforcement, otherwise the girl will be killed. Gurov realizes: such a harsh demand must have serious grounds—meaning the criminals know the family of the deceased businessman.

The detectives manage to track the path of the car that took the child, but soon they find the vehicle burned on the outskirts of Moscow. Checking Marina Zap’yantseva’s acquaintances also leads nowhere. Terrified, the mother is already ready to comply with the criminals’ demands when she unexpectedly remembers one terrible story from the past…

Nikolay Leonov, formerly a MUR investigator, knew firsthand how the most tangled criminal cases are solved. That’s why each of his books is a truthful, gripping story with unpredictable intrigue and an unexpected ending. The main hero of these books, Colonel Lev Gurov, is a top-class detective, and he also has a great many positive human qualities. Friends respect him, enemies fear him, and women love him. He is a real homegrown Superman. For forty years now, novels about Lev Gurov have consistently attracted fans of Russian detective fiction. The classic series “Black Cat” has more than 200 books, released in tens of millions of copies.
