Could Katya Petrovskaia, an employee of the press service of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs for the Moscow Region, have imagined what terrible events lie ahead connected to such an apparently simple murder of a driver from a wealthy house on a dark alley by the railway station? But at the “Pribrezhnoye” police department, Major Lilia Beloruchka didn’t think the case was simple—something about it was unsettling.
Two murders happened not long ago in Moscow. Seemed like there was no connection between them—except that all three victims were shot with a TT pistol, and not a single shell casing was found at the scene. And when it turned out that the murdered driver worked for Zhennya Kochergina, with whom Katya was friends in childhood, Captain Petrovskaia decided to help Lilia with the investigation. And now Katya seems to accidentally collide with her childhood friend—who, over a cup of tea, invites her for a weekend at a country mansion where the whole family is supposed to gather. But why is every family member so shamelessly lying about that last day when their driver was shot?..
