Wolfhound Files

A cab driver vanishes on a Friday night in Tver. His car drops off the grid, his phone goes dead. Investigator Yurich - a seasoned bloodhound of the criminal division - picks up the case. What starts as a routine missing persons report spirals into a dark trail of violence, deception, and buried secrets. Based on real events from the Wolfhound Archives.

Moscow, January. A janitor in the Altufyevo district finds a heavy bag by the dumpsters. Inside - a body preserved by the bitter frost. A corpse in a bag means premeditation. Someone killed deliberately and tried to make the evidence vanish. The Wolfhound follows the trail through Moscow's frozen streets into a web of personal connections where trust turned fatal. Forensic precision and decades of experience dismantle every lie. Entry #2 in The Wolfhound Files series.

July 2018. A car riddled with bullets on the Rostov-Taganrog highway. A young mother dead inside. Her wounded father in shock. Witnesses say the shooter wore a police uniform.

The trail leads through personal vendettas and systemic abuse of power. Book 3 in The Wolfhound Files series.

Samara, November 2014. A twenty-two-year-old woman drives out in her white Hyundai and disappears. Her phone goes dead. Then fake messages start arriving - someone pretending to be her. The Wolfhound traces digital breadcrumbs through her social circle and uncovers a devastating betrayal: the killer wasn't a stranger. It was someone Viktoria trusted completely. A gripping first-person account of a real missing persons case that became a murder investigation - and a reminder that the most dangerous person in your life may be the one standing closest. Book 4 in The Wolfhound Files series.

Moscow, November 2012. A quiet corporate lawyer named Dmitry Vinogradov walks into the offices of the pharmaceutical company Rigla, greets his colleagues with a polite "Good morning," and opens fire with two shotguns and 230 rounds of ammunition. Six people die; one survives with permanent injuries. Security guards tackle him while he is reloading. Veteran investigator Colonel Volkov - "the Wolfhound" - must reconstruct the mind of a meticulous killer who trained at shooting ranges for months, folded his civilian clothes neatly before the slaughter, posted a manifesto branding humanity "compost" five hours before the first shot, and deliberately spared the one woman he claimed to love. From the ice-cold interrogation to the psychiatric evaluation at the legendary Serbsky Institute and a trial that strips away every layer of his self-mythology, this is the anatomy of Russia's most infamous workplace shooting - and a chilling study of evil that learned to wear glasses and say hello in the elevator. Entry #5 in The Wolfhound Files: true crime narrated by a veteran Russian detective.
