The Trail of the White Witch

Whoever does not return home before dark will become the victim of the White Witch. Such is the legend that frightens the maidens of a provincial Ural town. Only girls are indeed found on the outskirts of the city. Murdered. Koshkin, a former metropolitan police officer exiled for misconduct, does not believe in the legend of the witch. He is looking for a strangler but finds the remains of a girl with a braid whiter than snow. The discovery will connect him with Alex Ritter, another outcast who has lost his former status. Alex is to marry the daughter of the town mayor, Liza Kulagina. And Liza chooses her suitor herself, one who would be convenient for her. Liza also has secrets. And a passionate desire to understand what happened to her mother, who disappeared many years ago.
