The novel “Shadow of the People's Commissar” continues the action-packed trilogy “Mephistopheles Returns.”

Eugene means noble. Pushkin's favorite name. And it is no coincidence that the hero of the novel, Oleg Agranyants, is also called Evgeniy. Yes, he is noble and honest, sometimes even a little naive. And these features of his are surprisingly accurately combined with the secret - the peculiar sign of the Zodiac of Evgeniy Lonov. He is in the service of Her Majesty Mystery and is called upon to open her veils as widely as possible, tear off her covers, comprehend her depths, for he is a servant of intelligence at the end of the twentieth century.

However, he is so charming and original, so humane and witty, which does not fit into any usual framework of the image of a scout. He reigns in the world of adventure, charms women and is fascinated by them, follows a mysterious trail and acts as the director and main performer of small performances designed to knock out opponents... He is a cunning, dreamer and master of his craft. And these are the ones Her Majesty Mystery loves. A woman by nature, a true intriguer, she favors those who know how to find their own approach to her. And gives them clues. Although they are not so easy for Evgeny Lonov, what an amazing taste of victory!..
