The chemist who created it, Kalitin, worked in a secret Soviet institute, but with the collapse of the Soviet Union he fled to the West. Lieutenant Colonel Shershnev receives an order to poison the traitor with his own invention ... The new, fifth, novel by Sergei Lebedev is a study of poison as a tool of Soviet and Russian special services twisted into a spy novel. And prose about eternal good and evil, creators and creations, science and morality...." -- Cataloger's translation of the Russian synopsis
