    About this ebook

    All was going well for Nazar. Before noon, he had stolen enough wallets to last him for a considerable length of time. However, he had also managed to steal a note that would throw his life into disarray. Nazar suddenly finds himself tossed into a situation he never could have imagined as he tries to desperately hunt down a man he knows nothing about. He’s quickly running out of time and growing more and more desperate. Fortunately, he knows exactly who to call.

    Ренуар изображал то, что видел.Я изображаю то, что понял...Фернан ЛежеЯ не романтизирую преступников и само явление преступности. И хотя каждое преступление есть зло, но... Говоря об уголовниках, я, в первую очередь, вывожу из тени то человеческое в них, которого подчас больше, чем в законопослушных гражданах, и которое нелепо затирается «полицейскими» авторами, но не забываю и о плохом. Сбрасывая с мафиозной идеологии флёр тупого примитивизма, которым усердно покрывают криминал коммерческие писаки, не имеющие и толики понимания о том, что они пишут, я стараюсь остаться объективным и твердо считаю: любой имеет право судить о чем-либо сам без подтекстовых направляющих социальной цензуры. Надеюсь, мне удалось выдержать нейтралитет и очень хочу, чтобы встречающаяся ирония увиделась вами просто как литературный прием и ни в коем случае не как средство свести личные счеты с теми, кто по ту сторону закона. Напротив, спасибо им.Уголовный мир существует не в рубриках криминальных хроник и годовых сводок пресслужб силовых ведомств, количество осужденных лишь малая его верхушка. Настоящая же преступность, подводная часть этого айсберга, всегда рядом с вами, но укрыта темными водами, незрима для человека постороннего. И желание помочь вам лучше понимать, наблюдать и видеть занимало среди прочих мотивов, побудивших к написанию, ничуть не менее значимое место.И наконец, последнее. Всё изложенное в моих работах — правда. На то вам моё авторское слово...
