The Places Here Are Quiet

In the Moscow region, the well-known businesswoman Lera Paskevich has disappeared without a trace. She went to an exotic remote area with a large sum of cash to sign a contract for the purchase of a hotel and soon stopped... communicating. The police searching the area found only fragments of her car. Colonels of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Gurov and Kryachko suggested that the woman was eliminated by her husband through third parties to seize their joint business. After some time, it turned out that Lera is not the only "rich lady" who has vanished in these parts. Before her, two other women also disappeared with a decent amount of cash on hand. Lev Gurov is puzzled: could the answer lie in the cruel ancient customs that prevail here?..
