Холод в Берлине

Berlin, 1946 god. Malenʹkim li͡udi͡am luchshe ne vysovyvatʹsi͡a: byvshie soi͡uzniki pletut intrigi v borʹbe za vlastʹ, a pobezhdennyĭ narod ne gnushaetsi͡a nikakimi sredstvami, chtoby vyzhitʹ. No chto, esli, krome tebi͡a, vosstanovitʹ spravedlivostʹ nekomu?V odnom iz zhilykh domov nemet͡skoĭ stolit͡sy amerikanskiĭ zhurnalist Dzheĭkob Khuber nakhodit trup molodoĭ zhenshchiny. Otpravivshisʹ za polit͡sieĭ, Dzheĭkob natykaetsi͡a na sovetskiĭ patrulʹ i vozvrashchaetsi͡a na mesto uzhe s soldatami. Odnako ikh vstrechaet rasteri͡annai͡a khozi͡aĭka: ona nedavno prishla domoĭ, i nikakogo trupa tut net i, konechno zhe, ne bylo. Dzheĭkob nameren doiskatʹsi͡a pravdy. I u amerikanskikh vlasteĭ, i u sovetskikh svoĭ interes v ėtom dele, vot tolʹko nikogo ne zabotit uchastʹ lezhavsheĭ na polu zhenshchiny. Kto ona? Mozhet, ona vse zhe byla zhiva i, ochnuvshisʹ, ushla sama? A esli net, kto i kuda unes telo? Kazhetsi͡a, neschastnoĭ ugotovano statʹ razmennoĭ monetoĭ v planakh sverkhderzhav. Kak i li͡ubomu, kto popytaetsi͡a vyi͡asnitʹ ee sudʹbu…Vpervye na russkom!

But what if there's no one else to restore justice?In one of the residential buildings of the German capital, American journalist Jacob Huber finds the corpse of a young woman. Going after the police, Jacob stumbles upon a Soviet patrol and returns to the place with the soldiers. However, they are greeted by a confused hostess: she recently came home, and there is no corpse here, and, of course, there was not. Jacob intends to find out the truth. Both the American authorities and the Soviets have their own interest in this case, but no one cares about the fate of the woman lying on the floor. Who is she? Maybe she was still alive, and when she woke up, she left on her own? And if not, who took the body and where? It seems that the unfortunate woman is destined to become a bargaining chip in the plans of the superpowers. As well as anyone who tries to find out her fate.…For the first time in Russian!
