The Bay of Sevastopol

On October 29, 1955, in the bay of Sevastopol, a Soviet battleship named 'Novorossiysk' sank as a result of an explosion. The investigation leans toward the only possible cause of the tragedy — the detonation of a naval mine from wartime. A special KGB group 'Don' led by Vyacheslav Bogdanov is tasked with checking the official version and trying to find the guilty parties. Upon arrival in Sevastopol, the operatives are met with a series of unpleasant surprises. First, an experienced diver dies under mysterious circumstances. Then, among the port's technical staff, two saboteurs, known to the KGB from previous operations, are identified. Later, an assassination attempt is made on one of the witnesses. Bogdanov realizes that his group is under the crosshairs of an invisible enemy, which means a serious confrontation awaits...

This novel is about the intense work of specialists from a unique KGB unit. From brainstorming during the preparation of a secret operation to actual combat with a cunning enemy anywhere in the world — a path only the brave and devoted professionals can follow.
