Захвачена заложница. Похитителю передают крупный выкуп. Полицейские уверены, что ситуация под контролем, но в результате штурма заложница и преступник погибают. А деньги таинственным образом исчезают. И это только начало проблем следователя Петелиной. Возможно, ей противостоит кто-то из своих.
The third book in the series is not as twisted as the second one but still very well developed and clever. It took a while until I figured out what happened (I believe at this point the author expected everyone will get it) and then there were still details I was interested in. I love his style. Usually pretty exciting.
I usually don't like side stories in crime book but I must say I am surprised that in this case I actually cared a lot about it. I started to really care about the relationship of Petleva and Valeev. As well as lives of their colleagues.
