Blood Owes Blood
The day they buried her father, they buried the truth with him. Anastasia Volkova was eighteen when they sentenced an innocent man, her father, to die in a cold prison cell. The real killers walked free, shielded by lies, badges, and black robes. Her family shattered. Her father’s name turned to filth. Her childhood ended in a courtroom. Ten years later, Anastasia mends torn pages for a living, restoring what others have broken. She is quiet, careful, almost invisible. But behind her calm eyes burns a memory, and a list of every name that destroyed her life. Now, one by one, those names are falling. A corrupt fixer drowns in his own blood money. A celebrated detective’s career implodes overnight. A crime boss watches his empire crumble into ash. Each death looks like an accident. Each ruin seems like chance. But in the shadows, a ghost is moving, patient, precise, and utterly merciless. Detective Ivan Volkov is hunting that ghost. He doesn’t know that the killer he seeks is the niece he failed a decade ago. He doesn’t know that her final target is the most powerful man in the city: a judge who wears respectability like armor, and who has been waiting for her to make her move. This is not a story about murder. It’s a story about justice, stitched together with secrets, paid for in blood, and delivered by a woman who has nothing left to lose. In a city built on lies, she is about to write the truth. And she’ll use their own sins as ink.
