About the book: 2009 / It’s not for nothing that Tim is called lucky. Once upon a time, in distant Africa, a beautiful mulatto woman with lips like ripe cherries placed an ancient amulet around his neck. Tim then walked on the very edge of the abyss between life and death. He survived and now returned to Moscow to unravel the mystery of his father’s death, and met in his former apartment a fragile girl - a stranger to whom her father for some reason left an unexpected inheritance. Now a black shadow hangs over her, but will his luck be enough for two? And is it worth saving a complete stranger to Tim??
