Anna Sterkhova was getting ready for a vacation. Never mind that the sea was still cold—at last she would meet her beloved Nikolay… But the vacation had to be postponed for an urgent business trip: Colonel Saveliev sent her to the small town of Uru-tin to investigate an old case. It’s personal—twenty years ago, her brother Viktor died there under strange circumstances. He was driving his car with his wife and daughter, lost control on a bridge, crashed through the railing, and fell into the river. Everyone died, but they never found the bodies of the woman and the girl, assuming the current carried them away. And recently, not far from that place, women’s remains were discovered—so there was a reason to reopen the case… Anna Knyazeva is an author beloved by thousands. Her fast-paced novels don’t leave any reader indifferent. Her lively temperament, zest for life, and wide range of interests allow Anna Knyazeva to write novels with a dynamic plot that grabs the reader from the very first page. Fans of fast-paced prose love Anna Knyazeva’s books for unexpected plot twists, charming heroes, and an easy style. All of this is in her new novel “In September the Water Is Cold.” Its main character is again Anna Sterkhova, deputy colonel of metropolitan police, who arrives to investigate a case that still hasn’t been solved.
