In beautiful Spain, where time stops running on the sultry beaches, where flaming paella is washed down with ice-cold sangria, and passionate sardana is danced in the squares, the main character of the novel “The Spanish Boot,” Valentin Lednikov, completely unwillingly, finds himself drawn into a mortal struggle for a gigantic inheritance. It is led by his Russian compatriots. And you can’t lie down on the beach when people are being kidnapped before your eyes, going crazy, taking the lives of innocents, betraying loved ones, trading on honor and professional duty. And then the Spanish police consider you perhaps the main suspect. Lednikov has only one way out: to find the one who is behind all this. In the current situation, only he can do this. After all, only a Russian can understand “Russian affairs” better than anyone else. Even in beautiful Spain... From the bondage of the bustle of the world, everyday worries, anxieties and expectations of the main character of the novel “We have something to surprise each other,” Valentin Lednikova snatches chance. Very soon he radically changes his life, throwing him into the brutal millstone of events in which huge money, pimps and prostitutes are spinning, corruption schemes and slippery businessmen involved in the antique business are involved. In them, the rarest relics of the distant past literally destroy the present: they break destinies, destroy reputations, push people onto the path of sin and debauchery, whose purity and decency seemed impeccable just recently. And this happens due to the fact that coveted treasures fall into the hands of vile, mercantile and insidious people. Finding himself in the thick of things, Lednikov does not try to escape from it. He accepts the challenge...Many novels about Lednikov have been translated into French, Spanish, Bulgarian, Latvian and other foreign languages and published abroad. A sixteen-episode feature film was shot on Russian television based on these works.
