About the book

The Russian mafia is waging a brutal war over spheres of influence. Several of the largest underworld groups have united into one powerful force and are reaching for power in Russia. In this great, bloody game the stake is placed on the youngest but most respected thief-in-law, nicknamed Varyag. Crowned by the prison brotherhood for great deeds, he changes his documents and his way of life and makes a dizzying career in politics and business.

The books are being translated into English, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. Choose a language under "Read the full book" or "Listen to the full audiobook".
