An ordinary Russian manager really doesn’t want to end up in jail.

But everything is heading that way. In Pasha Shikunov’s apartment lies a woman—killed by his hand by accident. If the body is found here, arrests, court, a sentence, and long years behind bars are inevitable...

But if it’s arranged so that the corpse is discovered far from here, then who knows where and from what accidents people die...

That’s what Shikunov thinks—having devised a reliable way to remove the body—thinking as he returns to his own home.

The body disappeared.

Without Pavel’s help—without anyone’s help at all—the corpse just evaporated from the locked apartment, one that was on alarm.

Some people naively believe that the dead don’t come back to life.
