Finally, everything fell into place! Igor Anisimov, an undercover military intelligence officer, stares into the black pupil of a pistol pointed at him. Now it is clear who was breathing down his neck, who organized provocations, who forced him to come here - to the Southern Urals - to the mines in which nuclear charges are stored. Now there is no doubt that the ancient mummy he discovered in these parts has a direct connection to all this. The secret order of murderous assassins still operates in our time. And Anisimov managed to outwit them, to reveal all their connections, all their plans. And the fact that the pupil of the barrel is looking at his forehead is nonsense; there have been worse situations. The main thing is that the task is completed.
