And along this path there were many who wanted to become owners of a huge amount. People were betrayed and killed for the right to own it. A suitcase full of banknotes has become a trump card in a complex game between politicians and terrorists, bandits and service employees. By the will of fate, Major Vinogradov (a regular hero of detective novels by the famous St. Petersburg writer Nikita Filatov) finds himself at the epicenter of events.
