Life won’t let up, and everything tries to hit me—Viola Tarakanova—right on the head… On a hot May night I couldn’t sleep and heard someone being beaten under the window. I saved the guy—turns out it was my neighbor Zhora. He asked me to pass a diskette to his acquaintance’s girlfriend. The first time it failed: when I tried to hand over the diskette the second time, I almost lost my life. So what secret information is on that diskette? Three medical case histories. No matter how I studied them, I found nothing in common except that all three died from different illnesses and in different hospitals. But it looks like they really weren’t robbed Zhora’s apartment for nothing, and then they killed his wife. The neighbor is hiding, but I managed to find out that he’s working at an insurance agency. Should I dig there? Seems like that’s already getting hot…
