In the criminal circles of postwar Moscow, cases of use of a powerful drug of unknown origin have increased. Some end in death. The MUR detectives Ivan Startsev and Alexander Vasilkov managed to track down the courier delivering “the stuff” into the capital. His trail led the operatives to the region of Great Novgorod—where, not so long ago, fierce battles with the fascists were still going on. The enemy left behind many bloody mysteries there, including the secret of a dangerous drug. All of this MUR men would have to unravel in the shortest possible time…

A unique opportunity to return to one of the brightest periods of Soviet history—the postwar years. Real people, real criminal cases, and gripping plot twists.

Characters reminiscent of cult images from the film “Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed.” The spirit of the era carefully preserved in many families. The “kitchen” of everyday Soviet police work is shown in an unusually realistic way.
