The Tsar's Gift

Alexandra Smolina is used to relying only on herself. She manages a car service, knows how to make tough decisions, and is not afraid of difficulties. But one day, fate throws her a riddle, against which familiar logic and life experience are powerless.
After the death of her elderly neighbor, Sasha accidentally discovers an ancient psalter. At first glance, it seems to be an ordinary book, but something tells her: the old man didn't hide it for nothing. While trying to unravel the mystery of the find, Alexandra becomes involved in an investigation whose roots go back centuries. The trail leads to a unique 14th-century manuscript, a mysterious gift to Emperor Paul I, and events that even historians have long forgotten.
Together with a relative of the deceased neighbor and his loyal dog, Sasha steps closer to the solution. But the closer the truth gets, the more dangerous the path becomes. For some secrets of the past are still valuable — and people are willing to fight for them at any cost.
