The books of the famous writer Ivan Shevtsov have been popular among readers for over forty years. There were fierce debates about his novels not only at home, in the kitchen, but also in the press. Shevtsov’s books leave no one indifferent, because they always have a sharp plot, bright, strong characters, and most importantly, what his heroes live with excites everyone right now, today. In the new action-packed novel “Devil’s Island,” Ivan Shevtsov talks about how foreign intelligence services, using the top leaders of the CPSU, prepared the ground for the collapse of the USSR, which they eventually succeeded in doing. Ivan Shevtsov is himself a former KGB colonel and knows very well what he writes about in the novel.
