About the book: 2020 / For the first time in Russian - “the best British debut in the detective genre for many years” (Crimescene Magazine), “a razor-sharp noir, something completely out of row out" (Lee Child). Detective Constable Aidan Waits was caught stealing cocaine from an evidence safe; Now Aidan is facing dismissal from the police, or even being put on trial. An excellent cover for infiltrating the Manchester-wide drug trafficking network known as the Franchise, and identifying a “mole” in the ranks of the police, thanks to which the Franchise and its head Zane Carver have remained unpunished for ten years. And at the same time - quietly, unofficially - try to bring home Isabel, a month since the missing daughter of the Minister of Justice David Rossiter: they say she was seen in Fairview, Carver's Victorian mansion. Aidan finds Isabelle - and realizes that the girl is mortally afraid of something. Will he be able to save her if he himself is unable to save himself??
