Herbert Kamanin is a professional cleaner. In the criminal world, his job is to wipe away the “spilled paint”—in other words, to eliminate traces of a committed crime. This time, too, a customer—a big man in the banking business—ordered Herbert to remove the body of the murdered lover of Larisa, a high-ranking official. Kamanin hurries to carry out his boss’s order, not suspecting that a casual acquaintance with the cunning and affectionate Larisa will soon turn into serious trials for him… Another gripping story in which human feelings undergo cruel tests under harsh circumstances. The author—force, the author—love, the author—nostalgia—for the times when strict notions ruled the world and real men were the real men. The total circulation of the author’s books is more than 13 million copies.
