Red Moscow

In post-war Moscow, in a luxurious apartment filled with trophy porcelain, lies a murdered jeweler. There’s a neat little hole at his temple. On the table—stacks of money and gold jewelry.

And no one thinks that… THIS is REVENGE. The killer didn’t take a single penny. He only took a life. And this is already the fifth corpse with the same calling card—a perfect shot to the temple. All the victims are speculators who profited from the people's sorrow. An INVISIBLE AVENGER is on the loose in the city…

The investigation is led by MUR investigator Arkady Nikitin, but the department considers the case a dead end—they brought it on themselves, the crooks. But Nikitin, a limping veteran, feels differently. He knows that behind every shot lies its own truth. Much of it because he himself went through the hell of war and LIVES BY THE LAWS OF HONOR…

The only clue is a barely discernible scent of expensive perfume in the bathroom and the suddenly reappeared daughter of the victim, the beautiful Varvara. To find the killer, Nikitin must navigate the fine line between truth and falsehood. And his main question is no longer "who?" but—IS THE ONE WHO KILLS RIGHT?
