Cinderella and the Dragon

In a respectable boarding house, the daughter of a tenant goes missing. She disappears — and then returns. 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 has played a cruel joke on his family. Who is the victim, and who is the monster? Answering this question is not so simple, for every closet hides its skeletons behind tightly closed doors, and none of the members of the wealthy family are eager to open them.
Detective Sergey Babkin, called to the boarding house to investigate the strange case, gradually unwinds the tangled skein of intrigues and passions. A thread leads him to a crime from twenty years ago. Will he be able to stop the impending murder when the investigation becomes dangerous for himself? A virtuoso DETECTIVE INTRIGUE, LOVE and SELF-SACRIFICE, FRIENDSHIP and BETRAYAL, a Cinderella story revealed from an unexpected angle — all this in Elena Mikhalkova's novel "Cinderella and the Dragon".
