At first glance, it seems like an ordinary case—a woman’s suicide complicated by the death of her son… At the scene, the duty investigator from the prosecutor’s office, Alexander Borisovich Turеtsky, arrives. Soon it becomes clear that these two deaths are only a small link in a chain of deaths within this family. Suspicion falls on the deceased Tra(v)in’s cohabitant, but soon Turеtsky learns that he has an ironclad alibi and could not possibly be involved. During a conversation, Tra(v)in advises Turеtsky to chalk everything up to the suicide of the hysterical woman and not to dig deeper into the investigation, since it is extremely dangerous for anyone who takes up the case. But by doing so, he only strengthens Turеtsky’s desire to uncover the family secrets all the way to the end. At the funeral, he meets the sister of the deceased, and then realizes that he has touched something unknown—and now, no matter how hard he tries, it won’t be so easy to get out of the case…

A film was made based on the first part of the book, “Touch” (“Prikosenie”). Or rather, the film’s script was revised into the first part. “Thus is the great mystery…”
