The weary Ivan Tsarevich can turn into Zmey Gorynych. However, the private detective Podushkin will not start breathing fire even if a man named Bob Solnechnolasovich comes to him and offers Ivan Pavlovich to advertise the company "Podushkin-Odeyalkin." As soon as the detective managed to get rid of the annoying visitor, his neighbor Irene came and asked him to talk to the daughter of her acquaintances, Katya Voikova. The girl recently lost her father, and there was nothing suspicious about Alexei Voikov's death, but Ekaterina believes that the businessman was murdered. Irene asks Podushkin to conduct an investigation for appearances' sake, to calm her distraught daughter. The delicate Vanya couldn't refuse, promising Katya to find her father's killer. And it turned out that her suspicions were not so absurd. But as soon as Podushkin finished this most challenging investigation, Bob Solnechnolasovich came back and turned all his neat conclusions into a pile of rubble...

“Dontsova is an incredible hard worker! I don't know of any other writer who works as hard as she does. I respect her as an example of literary diligence. Women need psychological support and receive it from Dontsova. I also read several of Dontsova's novels in my time. Very different people read her. Very busy businesswomen who want to switch off their minds for a while, and housewives who have a 15-20 minute break between dropping off and picking up children.” — Galina Yuzefovich, literary critic
