This book is not quite ordinary. It consists of my novel “You Can’t Leave” and a “virtual” part, which is posted on the Internet in the form of a blog written by one of the characters in the novel. A blog is a keyhole into the past, through which you can take a good peek hidden secrets. He helps private detective Alexei Kisanov restore the events of distant days, but not only: he reveals the character of both the blogger himself and several of his former classmates. The idea of ​​writing a novel that included a virtual part was prompted by my love for playing with multiple realities, which I discovered while working on my dissertation on Eugene Onegin (and other works by Pushkin). And I couldn’t resist the opportunity to play it! The world of fiction, which is fiction, echoes the world of the virtual in its fantasy essence, in the possibilities of mystification, and the temptation to collide these two worlds in one work was very great. As a result, the virtual becomes part of the novel, where the blog is written by a character in the novel, and comments are left by the most real visitors, who thereby unwittingly become part of the novel! At the same time, this game allowed me to separate two worlds that are polar in spirit and worldview, giving each its own form and its own space. I invited Oleg Khrustalev, a journalist from Nizhny Novgorod, to play the “role” of a character keeping a virtual diary. He courageously took upon himself the task of creating in detail the unsavory character of the blogger and telling the unsavory story on his behalf. Oleg played this role with great skill, for which I express my gratitude to him! The blog address is indicated as the story progresses. For those who do not have access to the Internet, a printout from the blog (without visitors' comments) is given in the Appendix to the novel. (Be careful not to peek ahead of time!) As with any blog “hanging” on the Internet, any visitor can leave comments there.... Further

  He approached the barrels. Here the grapes, in his opinion, gave away the soul. They gave it to juice, which was soon destined to become wine. The transformation of solar berries into a solar drink called wine seemed to him a great miracle and mystery, and now for the first time he had the opportunity to be present at a miracle and sacrament.

  This work is an excellent example of the absolute harmony of different literary forms - the novel with its dramatic narrative about the life and fate of a man and a detective, with its dynamics and intrigue of the investigation. After reading this novel you understand that in the popular market In literature, a standard called the “detective novel” appeared. And now this definition can not be applied to every book that claims to be a detective novel... The life and fate of a great actress and a series of murders of high-ranking people... Realism of images, shocking rules of life of the Soviet elite and nomenklatura, tired of living “like everyone else”... The tragic consequences of the era for some of the book’s heroes, as in other TGR novels, are dealt with by private detective Alexey Kisanov. The logic of crimes, their false versions, the sword of Damocles over a loved one... the reader experiences all this together with the characters, on every page.

Only after reading it do you understand what an unusually deep and intelligent novel Garmash-Roffe wrote. Vivat to the author!!! Keep it up! Read and do not feel sorry for yourself and your sleep.

PART ONE

...There was a subtle smell of spring in the air. She loved to walk at this early evening hour, when the lanterns are ghostly in the glow of the sunset. At such moments, at the junction of day and night, for some reason she felt joyful and a little anxious. It seemed that everything was ahead...

Although, what could be ahead when all her wishes have already come true?..

Today she received a special gift: an awkward gray cloud crawled in, and huge white flakes fell from it, covering the street noise with its soundlessness. The lanterns glowed as if through muslin, and it seemed to Vika that the orchestra would now gently enter, play the overture, the lace curtain would open, and a new, different, delightful life would be revealed behind it...

And then she stood in the hallway, and the fur of her fur coat was wet from snow and tears.

...Now I can’t remember why they froze in the hallway. She seemed surprised that her husband was home so early. And he replied that he came specifically to talk about something important. And she demanded to say “important” immediately.

Immediately!!!

...A fiery atomic cloud covered her head: her hair burned, her skin melted, and the radiation dried out her bone marrow. She became a charred corpse within the first half hour of conversation.

And he tried to be casual, encouraging her:

This is not the end of life, Vika, you will find another man, you are beautiful and young, you are only thirty-five, and I am already old for you, I do not match you... Well, don’t cry, Vika, I will leave you the money, I will transfer it to you all the property is in Moscow, don’t cry! Now your pride is hurt, but in reality you didn’t love me enough to kill yourself now... You’ll understand this soon yourself, you’ll see!

What does she have that I don’t have?!

But you are leaving me - for her!!! Is she more beautiful?

Older. Vic, let's calm down, and then we'll talk.

So why is she better than me then?!!

...For some reason they stood in the hallway - now I can’t remember why.

She sobbed, she beat his chest with her fists, pressed herself against him with salty kisses in the hope of feeling the usual response of his body... All in vain. Having forcibly seated her in the kitchen, he took a stool on the other side of the table - the conference table - and explained everything in strangely ordinary words:

I feel better with her. Easier. I’m guilty before you, I shouldn’t have married such a young woman... I’m tired of living up to you, Vika, I’m just tired! I’m fifty-four, I worked a lot, I achieved a lot, I tried to be a good husband and lover to you, but I’m tired, Vika... And I want to rest. Considering that I won’t get any younger, it’s unlikely that this desire will change.

And I?! You can rest, but what about me?!

They had been married for so long that Vika now did not understand how she could exist without him, without Misha. He knew and was able to do everything. And she - nothing. A capricious indoor flower, living in the pampered climate of its care. And now some force opened the windows to the frost, an icy wind instantly blew out the greenhouse air, and she trembled, desperately catching the last, thin streams of warmth... She was sure that she would not survive, she would die.

Vika, stop being dramatic. You will have money, and this is the most important thing. Don’t you really know how to go to the store for groceries? Or for clothes? Don’t be stupid, you’ll cope just fine without me, you’re already a big girl...

Do you love her?.. - she asked with longing.

A new attack of tears deprived her of the opportunity to speak, and he waited, patiently and even sympathetically waited out this attack, and with the corner of her consciousness Vika appreciated his gesture: in other times, Misha would have slammed the door long ago. He couldn't stand her tears.

So what, you want to divorce me?!

You see...Jennifer is American. We want to buy a house in California and enjoy the peace and our love there. To do this, we must get married, and we cannot do without a divorce. Don't worry, you don't have to do anything, I'll arrange everything myself!

And, having detected the approaching next attack of crying, he said with assertive cheerfulness:

You won’t suffer financially, Vika, don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything!!!

But how could he care if he left for another continent?! And are problems only financial?!

Immediately, as if in protest, the car, its beautiful Laguna, began to mope. Vika knew where to go: she and Misha drove two cars to this car service when they needed to undergo a technical inspection. She even knew a certain Zhora there, to whom she somehow crawled on the capricious “lagoon”.

Zhora rummaged around in the car, and from his simple-minded, cunning face, Vika doomedly realized that he would deceive her. But since she had no idea what the real cause of the problem was, she had to pay, without a doubt, eight hundred and forty-six dollars: labor, plus replacement parts, plus a rush surcharge.

Zhora loved non-round numbers - he believed that they were more trustworthy - and at the same time he never took “tip”. He was not petty, Zhora. And why bother with trifles, when out of eight hundred and something dollars, seven hundred were already for tea, and for beer, and for other earthly goods?

Vika had to return home without a car, which remained in the service station until tomorrow. But how? Metro? She completely forgot the last time she rode the subway. It scared her. For some reason it seemed to her that she would certainly fall on the escalator. That she would fall off the platform onto the tracks. That she would be pinched by the carriage doors.

However, there were no taxis on the horizon. Vika decided to take a cab and threw her hand forward. The first to slow down were such obscene Zhiguli cars that she refused to get into them. In the second car, a Volga, there were two mustachioed and dark-skinned faces, which completely dampened her intention to resort to the services of a private driver.

Having ventured, she headed towards the metro, unusually clicking her heels on the asphalt, which for some reason turned out to be too hard, and almost twisted her ankle at the first pothole. Hmmm, you shouldn’t jump out of the car right in front of the right door...

Luckily, everything went well on the subway: she didn’t roll off the escalator, didn’t fall on the tracks, and wasn’t pinched by the door. But upon arrival at the Sokol station, she went to the wrong exit, was forced to return, go through the underground corridor again, climb the stairs and...

In the center of Moscow, in the Aquarium garden, the corpse of a young woman was discovered. The circumstances of the murder are hidden from the press. It is only known that the crime was committed at rush hour - people were leaving a performance at the theater. Mossovet, idle revelers were relaxing in a restaurant. Investigators found that the victim likely knew the killer well. This is the premise of Tatyana Garmash-Roffe’s new detective novel “And I Have No Forgiveness,” published by Eksmo Publishing House in the “High Art of Detective” series. If you love, then with all your soul! If you live, then live in such a way that legends will be made about it! High feelings, strong emotions, uncompromising relationships - are all these operatic passions really possible in our pragmatic times?

From year to year, absolutely nothing interesting happened in the life of Aida - that was the name of the murdered woman. The daughter of a wealthy father, the wife of a successful, albeit unloved, husband, she lived as if in a dream, isolating herself from the world with music. At the same time, thoughts, emotions, feelings seething in the depths of her soul were hidden from family and friends. Only the sounds of great music gave her that freedom and breadth of feelings that was so lacking in everyday life. When there is such music, is love needed? It turned out that it was needed. A feeling that she was no longer expecting turned her whole life upside down. And, in the end, it led to death.

“Following the instructions she received, she moved deeper into the garden. The people, having opened their umbrellas, actually walked towards her in a friendly oncoming crowd - flowing from the performance of the Mossovet Theater. Only now did she appreciate the genius of the plan: if someone is really watching her, this person will be forced to approach her so as not to lose her in the crowd... And the one who hid in the depths of the garden will easily figure him out and recognize him! Aida tried not to look around, not to look around, although she really wanted to spot her pursuer. Concentrated, she made her way through the oncoming flow of people, then took a right, going around the restaurant until she saw it behind the trees. Obeying the sign, she approached.”

Private detective Alexey Kisanov, well known to readers of Tatiana Garmash-Roffe’s books, took on the investigation of the crime. Gradually, moving forward step by step, the detective brings to light a very ugly story. A story in which there is no place not only for the notorious lofty ideals, but also for simple human compassion.

Tatyana Garmash-Roffe is a master of the detective genre. Her books are distinguished by the integrity of the plot, in which every character, every action, every random glance is by no means accidental. The thoroughness of the detective story clearly demonstrates the boundless respect with which the author treats his readers. On the one hand, they have in their hands all the keys for independent logical conclusions. On the other hand, the author stirs up reader interest to the last, without revealing all the secrets.

Tatyana Garmash-Roffe is not a boring author. Moreover, he is a gifted author. Anyone who has read at least one of her books will be happy to pick up another. The writer doesn't just twist the plot. She knows how to create lively characters that reveal themselves in the given circumstances.

“Andrei looked completely calm, as if he ran away from home every day, hiding from bandits, and even because of a girl completely unknown to him! Rita appreciated this equanimity (if feigned, then very successfully!) highly. Not a word of reproach, not dissatisfaction with the fact that he “got into trouble” because of Sasha or because of her, Rita. She has encountered many times the fact that, while doing a good deed, people very quickly begin to lose their temper as soon as the slightest complication arises. They are pleased to consider themselves kind, but so that it is easy, inexpensive in terms of strength and time... Such kindness is cowardly. And not even kindness at all, in fact.”

Major troubles often bring out the most unexpected qualities in people. And the worse the situation, the faster everything superficial and momentary flies away from a person, often revealing cowardice and cowardice under a carefully crafted mask of confidence.

Only truly strong-willed people do not waste time on fruitless exclamations and searching for those to blame, but simply take responsibility and begin to look for a way out of the current situation.

In her new novel, Tatyana Garmash-Roffe brings to the stage, alas, extremely rare types today. The heroes of the book "Take Shelter in the Clouds", through no fault of their own, having become deeply involved in a dangerous story involving blackmail of high-ranking officials, do not lose their cool and show their best qualities - nobility and generosity. Even if this is a rarity, even in our difficult times there are people who are able to lend a helping hand, take on part of other people’s problems, and take an active part in the fate of a stranger in trouble.

Rita, the main character of Tatiana Garmash-Roffe’s new novel, as they say, fell “from the frying pan into the fire.” Fleeing from the persecution of an obsessive admirer who had considerable power, she fled to Moscow. In the capital, a girl accidentally found herself in the epicenter of the struggle of the powers that be. The real war broke out over a compromising video hidden in the computer of her casual acquaintance Sasha. After Rita helped destroy the files, the hunt began for her and her new friend Andrei.

The twisted detective story centers on more than solving a crime. Following the trials that befell the heroes, we see how gradually and carefully, as if walking on the blade of a knife, the souls of the heroes open up to each other. It is not easy for two adults to get out of the cocoon of alienation that has been built for many years as a way of protecting themselves from insults, loneliness and betrayal. The fragility of their nascent feelings evokes sympathy and empathy, and the nobility of their souls evokes unconditional respect.
