Black Lilac

Varvara Sergeevna Samovarova is a beauty with November snow in her hair—a goddess of cats and pigeons—and she was struck off the investigators’ rolls. In the recent past, Samovarova suffered a professional defeat that cost her a successful career in the police and ended for her in a serious illness. During her long recovery, an unusual gift came to Varvara Sergeevna: through her dreams, she is able to “feel” threads that lead to uncovering, as it seems, hopeless crimes.

Two cities—Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Two women who don’t know each other, but are firmly linked by one mysterious murder. It’s this case that Varvara Samovarova must solve… and start life from a clean slate.
