A stunning story about how a famous singer, a favorite of Brezhnev himself, was killed in the distant Soviet years, and what the investigators had to do to keep their posts. 1966. As a stand, the killer chose a black, slate-lacquered piano lid. He placed thirteen saucers on it and there were already burning candles on them. He carefully examined the couch on which the dead man was lying, removed the emptied boxes of sleeping pills from the table. The last touch remained, the cherry on the cake… The killer carefully placed a photograph of a woman and a strip of paper with a short phrase written in block letters on the singer's chest.Half a century later, a young journalist, Pyotr Kravchenko, became interested in this case. The legendary Anastasia Kamenskaya, a retired operative, helps him establish contacts with people involved in those long-ago events and able to reveal the dark secrets of the past…
