Autumn of 1994. Paco Arraya, an illegal Russian intelligence agent, lives in New York under a false name, but one short message makes him rush first to Moscow and from there to the war-torn Balkans. There, his teacher, scout Pyotr Nekrasov, disappeared without a trace, and Paco goes in search of him. An eternal stranger among his own people, Paco rushes through the maze of war — from Belgrade to besieged Sarajevo, from diplomatic offices to the front line, where peacekeepers, volunteers, mercenaries, spies, military personnel and religious fanatics turn out to be nearby. To unfold his fascinating story about memory, duty, military camaraderie, betrayal and the price of choice, Sergei Kostin himself traveled the roads of his hero, so the espionage psychological thriller looks like a genuine documentary chronicle. Paco's Yugoslav Odyssey is the bitterest and most poignant novel in the series. Paco must be able to find his teacher before he is found dead.
