The second book about the Breakup Bureau and its work. This time an old acquaintance turns to the Bureau who can’t somehow manage to sell the ancestral home. March, a country estate in the Moscow region cut off from the roads by a sudden snowstorm, guests arriving to celebrate the equinox… Can murder fail to happen under such conditions? Aleksey Vereshchagin can’t come, but that won’t stop him from investigating the crime in which his tenants are implicated.
