One Step from Hatred

In a dacha settlement, during a bike ride, a young beauty, Ilona, dies. The police doubt that her extremely unlucky fall into a ravine was an accident, and several of Ilona’s friends and close relatives end up under suspicion at once. Her ex-husband, Vladislav, was interested in getting rid of the former wife because she had compromising information on him. A friend, Vera, may have wanted revenge for her own injury: two years ago she also fell into a ravine—because of Ilona’s fault. There are other people who wanted the girl dead too, but who among them is truly guilty of her tragic death? Not trusting one another and trying to clear themselves, the suspects are forced to investigate together… Novels in this series are unusual—they are recommended by Tatiana Ustinova herself, the first among the best in Russian suspense fiction. Thanks to the literary talent of authors whose books are published under the banner “Tatiana Ustinova recommends,” the series quickly attracted a large readership.
