Viktoria has no luck from the very beginning—her attempt to build a career as a personal bodyguard ends in failure. A prominent official, Zamyatin, her first client, is shot in the chest—right in a closed, heavily curtained office. Her next client, the husband of her former classmate Herman Galaktionov, barely survives—only a miracle keeps him alive. And it turns out, judging by the handwriting, it’s the same killer who has already “spotted” the pretty bodyguard Vika and is blackmailing her with her life and the lives of her loved ones…
Rina Osinkina’s suspense novels are, in essence, about love against a backdrop of detective intrigue. They’re for those who are tired of building and assessing their lives only from the standpoint of “beneficial—not beneficial,” who want to be reminded—and even proven—that kindness, nobility, and conscience still exist. And most importantly, that they are within us.
