About the book: 2020 / Viktor Lavrov, a former KGB special forces soldier, receives a task from the abbot of the monastery to find a stolen relic, the right hand of John the Baptist.

The trail of the abducted right hand leads to Syria, torn apart by civil war. Lavrov and Solomina find themselves in the thick of it. Almost deafened by machine gun fire from militants, at risk of being captured, and almost dying in a shootout while trying to escape from a right-wing Turkish group, Lavrov and Solomina do not even suspect that they have become pawns in a dangerous game. Who is trying to drag them into a death trap and why??
