This book is about those whose profession can be considered one of the most ancient. Keepers of fire, water and sacred groves, palace guards, sentries and watchmen - all these figures are present on the road of History. Security guards of all times have one thing in common - they are always just companions, their place is to be nearby, their role is to store, protect and protect something more significant, significant and valuable than themselves. The guards are neither here nor there... They are between two worlds - between the authorities and the people, next to the authorities, but only at its doors, and beyond that the path is closed. Often the “man with a gun” begins to understand that he does not serve living gods or even heroes. This guess turns the guard into a hunter, and what he guarded into prey. It seems that the guards consider their guards to be blind, deaf and silent. But that's not true. Every guard has something to remember...Valentina Kraskova is known for her books: “Kremlin Children”, “Kremlin Brides”, “Heirs of the Kremlin”, “Kremlin Weddings and Banquets”, “Crimes Behind the Kremlin Wall”, “Kremlin Clans”.
