Andrey Vasiliev's documentary novel is dedicated to the "Portrait of Elizaveta Yakovleva", which was exhibited in the world's largest galleries as an authentic work by Kazimir Malevich and sold for 22 million euros. During the investigation, the author finds irrefutable evidence that the painting was authored by a completely different artist. But along the way, as in a good detective novel, many more unexpected facts and circumstances are revealed concerning the structure of the art market, perhaps the most corrupt and most opaque of all.

As a top-class investigation, this book tells in detail about the secret mechanisms of the art market; as a novel, it addresses the depths of human nature.
