The Black Suit

By Andrew V. Kudin

The Black Suit is a historical crime novel based on true events in late Soviet Ukraine-an era of collapse, corruption, and rising criminal syndicates. It is a story of power, betrayal, and forbidden love, set where the Soviet world is breaking apart and new empires are built in violence.

As the USSR unravels, chaos engulfs Ukraine, and organized crime rushes to fill the vacuum. A young man from a respected intellectual family is pulled into a brutal underground he never imagined. He rises fast, until he is leading one of Ukraine's most feared gangs-and learns the hard law of that world: power always demands its price.

This completely revised edition (April 2025) presents a brand-new translation of the international bestseller, bringing renewed intensity and authenticity to the original narrative.

Perfect for readers who enjoy historical crime fiction based on true events, organized-crime dramas, and psychologically rich stories about power, betrayal, love, and redemption.
