Death in Authenticity

Another book by the legendary tandem Leonov — Makeev. In the Moscow region, under strange circumstances, pensioner Alevtina Golikova, a former translator and employee of the Soviet embassy in the GDR, has gone missing. The woman set off for the capital in her car and, before that, casually mentioned to the guests that her cherished dream would now come true — she would renovate her home and go to rest by the sea. Colonel of the Interior Ministry Gurov suspects that Golikova was planning to receive a large sum of money from her former colleague at the embassy. But for what? Perhaps the reason for her demise lies here. Detectives are working through the victim's social circle and soon come to a stunning conclusion. The motive for the murder of the unfortunate old woman was given by none other than... the great Raphael Santi... Nikolai Leonov, a former investigator of the MUR, knew firsthand how the most complicated criminal cases are solved. Therefore, each of his books is a true gripping story with an unpredictable intrigue and an unexpected ending. The main character of these books, Colonel Lev Gurov — a high-class detective, endowed with a wealth of positive human qualities. Friends respect him, enemies fear him, and women love him. He is a true domestic superhero. For forty years, novels about Lev Gurov have consistently attracted fans of domestic detective fiction. The now-classic series "Black Cat" includes over 200 books with print runs in the tens of millions of copies.
