Returning home late at night, Vera discovers in the stairwell a mutilated body of her father—a famous jeweler—and the apartment has been looted. The jeweler’s accomplices hire private detective Tatyana Ivanova to find the killer and the money—common funds—that at that moment were in the apartment. Tatyana starts investigating and very quickly understands that neither the local mafia nor visiting con artists are involved in this wild crime. So who are these robbers, at the mention of whom the dead man’s daughter somehow begins to panic terribly?
