All I did—Evlampiya Romanova—was take my foster daughter Kisa to a matinee in a squirrel costume, and right away a no-fault emergency happened: the local drunk mistook her for the legendary «squirrel freak» and, from sheer terror, almost went to the other world.
A ridiculous incident at the worst possible time: I had a new job waiting for me! Yes—now I’m the secretary of a design bureau. Naturally, it wasn’t love for beautiful interiors that brought me there, but a new investigation.
My friend Lena Gvozdeva begged me to help her daughter Nastya, who was accused of stealing a wildly expensive ring from Nina Zueva, the owner of the bureau. Too many things don’t add up in this case—it feels like Nastya is being framed. But who needs it and why?…
Barely settling into the job, I went to the client—a rude and tyrannical Fomin. And the very same evening, they found him dead! What strange things are going on in this bureau. Now I won’t leave for anything in the world until I understand everything!
