Boss of Thieves

Marina Baranov washes dishes in her uncle's restaurant and steals credit cards to keep her sisters fed. When the Petrov bratva kills her uncle over a debt, she walks into their shuttered seaside hotel and offers the boss three things: the ledger her uncle kept, the buyer he was skimming for, and herself. She is not there for revenge. She is there for a job. Kiril Petrov takes the ledger and does not trust her. His lieutenants, twins with a matching grudge, trust her less. Over one hot summer on the Black Sea, Marina modernises their money, cuts out a customs officer, and decides whether to sell all three men to the security services. In the end they don't get sold. They get kept. And the customs officer does not come back from the boat.
