Having collected all possible troubles while working as a military investigator, I retired and started a new life. Teaching at the academy and working part-time as a mercenary is enough to earn a living and provide an adrenaline rush. But a series of random, unrelated murders turns everything upside down. Because the connection has been found - it's me. And all this is being investigated by the man who was my first love, whom I deceived, used and abandoned. The situation is heating up, I feel like someone’s invisible trap is tightening around me - a plan to eliminate or capture me. The only way out is to run and rely only on yourself. After all, it’s so difficult to open your heart to someone after betrayal, even if you really want to become closer. One-volume book, can be read separately. Draft, finished.
