The novel is from 2009.
Yulka hated the old woman she had taken a job as a housekeeper for—and at the same time she was fascinated by her. Marta Rudolfovna held herself like a real queen, but treated her even worse than the servants.
However, for the sake of her plan, Yulka was ready to endure…
Marta Rudolfovna sincerely found Yulka amusing and skillfully plucked the right strings in her soul. The girl wasn’t fully ready to play her role yet…
Detectives Makar Ilyushin and Sergey Babkin didn’t consider the new case serious: businessman Togoiev asked them to find his daughter who had run away from home. They quickly found the girl, but what she was planning to do horrified even experienced investigators…
Many people think of themselves as puppeteers and believe they hold all the strings in their hands. But how do you find out who you really are—a puppeteer, or just a marionette dancing along?
