The Secret Detonator

Nostalgia for times that have already become history. The author describes the atmosphere of the era and the inner state of the heroes so realistically that you believe him at once and completely. Major of the KGB Sergey Druzhinin becomes an accidental witness to the explosion of a packed tram in which his acquaintance was riding. Realizing Sergey’s direct interest in uncovering this crime, the city’s Ministry of Internal Affairs leadership involves the major in the investigation. It turns out that the bloody operation was carried out by the jealous husband of Druzhinin’s acquaintance. Terrified of legal punishment, the man took his own life. The case could be closed.

However, Sergey is convinced that the perpetrator acted not alone—behind the bombing, there is surely an organizer of the crime, whose plans include continuing to kill peaceful citizens. This version soon is confirmed by a new monstrous terrorist attack… A unique chance to return for a time to the recent past and, with a sense of complete reality, live through with the heroes the most desperate stretch of their lives.
