A violinist, Alla Fedina, came to Max Wolf’s detective agency. Hardly hiding her excitement, she admitted that she was terrified for her life because someone was trying to poison her.
It turns out that after Fedina’s concert backstage, a cake was handed out. As it happened, it was the janitor who tasted it—and… died instantly. And what’s interesting: the cake was delivered by a young woman who introduced herself as the daughter of Vera Aramakyina—a longtime fan, a loyal admirer of Fedina. But why didn’t Vera bring the sweets to her idol herself? Because she had recently died…
Scared, the violinist begs Max and Yevlampiya to find this girl. And to find out: was Aramakyina’s daughter even real at all?
