Evidence from Ashes

Another book by the legendary duo Leonov — Makeev. In a small Ural town, two major entrepreneurs die one after another. The local police request assistance from capital detectives in the investigation. Colonels of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Gurov and Kryachko determine that both crimes are linked: in both cases, fire was the cause of death. A new arson that occurred afterward, claiming the life of a third businessman, confirmed that the operatives were on the right track. Gurov establishes that all three victims had a shared criminal past and were collectively involved in shady dealings. It seems that some former victims of the current businessmen reached out from the grave to get to their tormentors… Nikolai Leonov, a former investigator of the MUR, knew from experience how the most tangled criminal cases are solved. Therefore, each of his books is a true captivating story with an unpredictable intrigue and an unexpected ending.

He is a real domestic superhero. The novels about Lev Gurov have been attracting fans of Russian detective fiction for forty years.
