Description

Private detective Tatyana Ivanova returns to Tarasov after resting in the Altai—and almost immediately gets pulled into a whirlpool of strange incidents. In a city sauna, under unclear circumstances, the well-known IT businessman Ivan Knyazev dies—yet soon Tatyana receives news: Knyazev is alive and needs help. The investigation trail leads her to Kazakhstan, where past and present unexpectedly converge: an ancient map connected to a curse, the legend of Kara-khan, the missing wealth of Ural Cossacks, and a chain of suspicious deaths. Tatyana must unravel a network of deception, betrayal, and family secrets to understand who and why staged Knyazev’s death—and why, for the sake of the legendary treasure, people are willing to commit murder. In her search for the truth, old acquaintances help her—investigators Andrey Melnikov and Garik Papazyan.
