Cinderella and the Dragon

In a respectable boarding house, the daughter of a lodger goes missing. She disappears — and then reappears. And no one can say where the girl was and what happened to her. Except for one person who is already preparing... a new crime. A wealthy old man played a cruel joke on his family. Who is the victim, and who is the monster? Answering this question is not so simple, as every closet keeps its skeletons behind tightly closed doors, and none of the family members are eager to open them.
Detective Sergey Babkin, called to the boarding house to investigate the strange case, gradually unravels the tangled web of intrigues and passions. A thread leads him to a crime from twenty years ago. Will he be able to stop a looming murder when the investigation becomes dangerous for him? A virtuoso DETECTIVE INTRIGUE, LOVE and SELF-SACRIFICE, FRIENDSHIP and BETRAYAL, the story of Cinderella opening up from an unexpected side — all of this in Elena Mikhalkova's novel "Cinderella and the Dragon".
