An old, carefully forgotten case from 1924 suddenly resurfaced in the memory of senior operative officer Denis Ozhаров. And all the younger comrades: “Tell us, tell us.” “Tell”—he didn’t; they were still too young to understand. But he remembered anyway. About the disappearance of a little boy and his sister, a girl with astonishingly clear eyes; about an unresolved murder; about a парень with only one hand—without a case hand… And once again, he thought: how strange our life is—where is black, where is white, and where is red—and you can’t tell it all at once.
And everything isn’t the way you see it at the beginning.
