A corporate party at the firm “Alekser” ends in a rather unusual way—by the murder of the company’s commercial director. Since the party took place in a closed country club, there’s no doubt that the killer is one of the employees. All evening he was cheerful and friendly, joking and dancing with everyone, while secretly planning monstrous things. What a creepy New Year’s night!
By a happy coincidence, an investigator, Aleksey Leonidov, is among the guests. Which means the cards are in his hands! Only these cards fall out strangely: everything points to his best friend.
From beginning to end, the book is entirely the author’s fiction. Any resemblance of names and events is purely coincidental.
