She decides to consult a specialist who uses non-traditional methods of treatment. But when Nastya calls the right phone, it turns out that this specialist has been killed. And then there's another problem. After the hospital, Nastya has nowhere to live: her apartment is occupied by unexpected relatives.

And suddenly, she is horrified to discover that someone is following her....---------------------------------------------"Marinina not only writes detective novels, but also answers eternal questions. The author treats his readers like a kind and experienced teacher to students who need support, guidance and guidance on the right path. Optimistic and practical in her didactics, Marinina poses the question “how to live" and tries to help the reader find his way to a better life in today's world. Marinina writes a modern novel "education of feelings" with her detective stories: the author's main goal is education through entertainment." — Anatoly Vishevsky, Grenell College, USA"Many of Alexandra Marinina's novels have been adapted into films in Russia and reworked into radio plays in Germany. Based on the fact that the purpose of these treatments is to capture viewers and listeners in the same way that readers are captured, the film and the radio play are not only additional works of fiction, but also interesting interpretations that have penetrated into the secret of Alexandra Marinina's success." — Sarah Hagi, University of Cologne, Germany"In the dialogues of fiction and trivial literature, one can find different ways of stylizing "verbality" in order to achieve the impression of spontaneous conversation. Everyday speech in A. Marinina's novels is characterized by an unusually high degree of animation, which is expressed, among other things, in the different forms of address of the interlocutors, in various shades of politeness and in the emotionality of the vocabulary used." — Wolfgang Stadler, Leopold Franzen University, Innsbruck, Austria.
