The Silent Anatomist

Thirty years of death certificates. One true signature. Dr. Lev Andreyev has spent his career signing the Bratva's enemies out of this world on paper. Heart failure, stroke, an overdose in a stairwell. He is careful. He is quiet. He is good. Then a new medical examiner walks into his morgue with a case file and a question about her predecessor, and Lev finds out he has been useful for so long that he no longer remembers how to be free. Eleven days. One body moving at two in the morning. One wrong toxicology report reversed by a man who has only ever written them forward. Anna Kovalenko is not his redemption. She is a witness. And the man who made them both is counting on Lev's silence more than his loyalty.
