Summer of 1916. While a bloody war is going on on the fronts, a different kind of danger is brewing in the Russian North. German agents are hiding among tens of thousands of prisoners of war in Arkhangelsk and Murmansk, where a strategic railway is being built. They were captured for a reason: their task is to collect secret information, organize escapes, prepare sabotage and hit the Russian rear from the inside. State Councilor Alexei Lykov was tasked with uncovering the enemy network. It is necessary not only to catch spies, but also to uncover the enemy's communication channels. The tracks lead to the port, the camps, the gendarmerie offices and to where the three states converge at the polar border. Lykov will have to act quickly and carefully: the enemy is smart, disciplined and knows how to hide. And the price of failure is too high — the strategic road, maritime transportation and the security of the entire Russian North will be under attack. An exciting historical detective story from the winner of the Russian Detective Award Nikolai Svechin. The novel is part of a series of works about the detective Alexei Lykov and is the fortieth in a row.
