About the book: 2023 / Pasha Subbotin’s parents were killed when he was nine. They were ordered by business partners and stole everything that belonged to the family. The boy was sent to an orphanage, but two years later his grandfather’s brother, Ernest Subbotin, took him in. This brilliant, but very strange man lived only by his favorite science - chemistry. And when the clever Pasha did not follow in his footsteps, he was offended... The guy returned to Moscow, went to college, found housing, and fell in love. He had not seen Ernest for five years and had not even called him. But one day a man appeared in his apartment as if out of nowhere and announced that Pasha was the future heir. And who? The crazy professor! He will get not only a run-down apartment and a crumbling dacha, but something so valuable that they could kill for it…
