False Authority in Epaulettes. Russian True Crime Stories, #4

On a scorching July evening on the Rostov-Taganrog highway, a police major guns down his estranged wife in broad daylight while her elderly father sits behind the wheel. When veteran homicide investigator Lieutenant Colonel Volkov - "the Wolfhound" - arrives at the scene, he finds not a gangland hit but the ultimate betrayal: a uniformed officer who turned his weapon on his own family. Through a brutal overnight interrogation, hospital-bedside testimony, and a courtroom showdown, Volkov dismantles the killer's arrogance piece by piece.
A searing true crime account of domestic violence, institutional complicity, and one detective's relentless pursuit of justice against a man who believed his badge made him untouchable.
