Vasilisa comes to a village to gather her thoughts, get herself together after tragic events, and after breaking up with a young man—plus to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a boy, a sheep, and several hens. She doesn’t even manage to rest properly or start searching when the locals find a drowned body. Nobody knows who he is or where he came from. And local authorities turn a blind eye to obvious inconsistencies. This resort village is full of secrets and wild stories that Vasilisa is yet to learn. Another corpse found on a playground swings the pendulum. Will Vasilisa be able to find the culprit—or will she herself become a victim? You’ll find out soon. Time is running out.
