Agent Drongo’s new case is one of the most unusual and dangerous in his entire career. Organizing the “imaginary death” of a major businessman who has fallen out of favor with the new political elite of Russia and fears for his life is, of course, difficult, but possible. However, how to explain the fact that a detailed operation suddenly failed? The fact that the fake shooter, who was supposed to “kill” the businessman during the party, died, and the “victim” was shot not with blanks, but with real cartridges? Drongo is sure: the criminal is one of the people present at the party. But – who exactly? So far everyone is a suspect.
