Broken Sky

Lara raised her beloved younger brother Arthur herself, and fell into deep depression when the boy died. A year later, with enormous difficulty pulling herself out of the mire of her grief, Lara decided that the investigation of a case that had never been solved needed to be carried through to the end. She is helped by caring people—old and new friends—as well as private detective Sergey Koltsov. The old story gradually gains details, intertwines with new tragedies and dramas, tearing at the heart… But even this painful path toward the truth is preferable to the viscous indifference in which Lara almost drowned.
