Business is stagnant at Nikita Startsev’s detective agency. It’s summer—meaning there are no cases and no money. And to make matters worse, his wife has left for someone else. Then, suddenly, two cases turn up at once: two interesting women and a lot of money. Lola Goldina, a businesswoman, is accused of murder. There’s no alibi at all—but there’s a whole squad of witnesses. And the recently murdered friend’s wife, Alisa K hvalyun, is being tailed by a black car. Valerka Khvalyun was the owner of a private security firm (CHO P), and before his death he installed surveillance in the apartment of Lola’s assistant. A coincidence? An accident? Startsev is too experienced to believe in coincidences, so he immediately combines both investigations into one—terrifying, incredible—one with such a logical beginning and an unpredictable ending.
