Tender Leaves, Poisonous Roots

Ah, sweet childhood, school years! Carefreeness, first love, friends. Who became the best for a lifetime. Not so fast! If there was a recognized queen in your class, her "subjects" lived not sweetly. Years go by, you change — but the memory of school bullying sits like a fine splinter. Especially if the bully is still beautiful, successful, and happy. And the desire for revenge, to trample her life as she once trampled yours, raises its serpent head. The former beauty Sveta Rogozina gathers former classmates for a reunion eighteen years after graduation. Why? To apologize? To brag about wealth? Or to mock once again? Well, her former victims have grown up — and are ready to retaliate. Private detectives Makar Ilyushin and Sergey Babkin will help unravel the tangle of murder, the thread of which leads back many years, to the last school year of 11th grade "A" class.
