From the website of the publishing house YAM Cloudless happiness is fleeting, and the cozy little world of every person is fragile. And if, after dinner at a restaurant with your beloved wife, you wake up not in your own bed, but on the floor of an abandoned dacha with your hands tied, then don’t be surprised - this can happen to anyone. Or worse. And these are not the consequences of a severe hangover, but the vicissitudes of fate. The notorious Murphy's Law is in action. Something similar happened to the main character of the novel, Artem Streltsov. And then it all started: kidnappings, assassinations, murders, political intrigues, bloody showdowns, revenge, investigation, love... In general, the usual chaos... for a crime novel with elements of an action movie and interspersed with a detective story. Or unusual - after all, the heroes of the book are able not only to wave their fists, but also to think, the author is not averse to looking into the souls of the characters, and the dish itself is seasoned with a bit of irony.

From the author's page Finalist "Trimmers-2011". The novel can be called an ironic crime thriller with detective elements. Or a genreless mess. But you don’t have to name it. A few words about the content (unfortunately, not monetary). The action takes place in the early 2000s in a fictional city, so any similarities with real people and events are purely coincidental. Life is going great for a simple Russian entrepreneur, Artem Streltsov. A loving and beloved wife, good income, interesting business. Nothing foreshadowed changes, but... one not at all wonderful day, the cozy and cloudless little world of the protagonist collapsed... On that same unremarkable day, Artem wakes up in an abandoned house outside the city and discovers that he is tied up. He was kidnapped by unknown attackers and forced to perform some strange and incomprehensible actions. Perverts, whatever you take. Streltsov complies with the kidnappers’ demands, but instead of gratitude, he receives two stabs in the stomach. Having miraculously escaped from the scene of the attack, the hero ends up in the hospital, where he learns that his pregnant wife has been killed. And then the usual chaos begins: the hero thirsts for revenge, searches for villains, at the same time the investigator searches for criminals, intrigues weave (not in the sense of walking). In the end it turns out that the main villain is... however, I won’t say anything... oh, and also... just in case.
