Очарованный джазмен

A fascinating action-packed novel that will be equally interesting to both jazz fans and lovers of detective stories.

Coming out of a state of trance, the American did not remember anything ... " The first mystery: Why was Yuri Andropov in his youth, like a twin, similar to the great jazz player Glenn Miller?
