Right After the Creation of the World

Alexei Pletnev's life made a somersault at the most inopportune moment, a "dead loop," and he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place – the village of Ostrov in the Tver province! His old world collapsed, and a new one... needs to be created. After all, worlds are not born in an instant! Everything is perfect in Ellie’s life, or almost everything… But a strange man, who appeared in the village where she spends her summer, attracts her, although she really doesn't want to... be interested in him. An old forester, a neighbor from the Ostrov village, has been killed – who finished him off, and why?.. This is the calmest place in the world! The house of other neighbors has been robbed. Does this relate to the murder or not? Who is the strange man Fyodor Yermenko threatening over the phone? Who and why killed his dog? This whole detective story has nothing to do with Alexei Pletnev, and yet he will have to deal with it. Who said that worlds are not born in an instant?! It seems that only this way can real life begin – right after the creation of a new world…
