Description

Trouble was waiting for detective writer Alena Dmitrieva on the eve of New Year. Her husband Mikhail didn’t return from Moscow and sent an awful message and a bouquet of roses. “Love is over,” he wrote, “and we must part.” Impulsive Alena first wanted to kill herself, but then she rushed to the capital. And in vain! Her husband had already flown to Bulgaria. Grief-stricken, Alena buys a ticket home, planning to spend New Year’s night in an empty first-class compartment. And what was her shock when a handsome man entered the compartment! Is grief—or the need to prove herself—pushing her into the arms of a chance traveling companion? But this is not the end, only the beginning of Alena’s downfall and of everything mysterious and terrifying that lies ahead for her…
