An astounding story about how, in the distant Soviet years, a famous singer, the favorite of Brezhnev himself, was murdered, and what the investigators had to do to keep their positions. 1966.

He carefully examined the couch on which the corpse lay, removing the empty boxes of sleeping pills from the table. One last touch remained, the cherry on top… The killer carefully placed a photograph of a woman and a strip of paper with a short phrase written in capital letters on the singer’s chest. Half a century later, this case captivated the young journalist Pyotr Kravchenko. The legendary Anastasia Kamenskaya, a retired operative, helps him establish contacts with people involved in those long-ago events and capable of uncovering the dark secrets of the past…
