Even if dawn comes, it will be replaced by darkness again...
November 1982. The Smelyanskys' wedding anniversary is overshadowed by the death of Leonid Brezhnev. A new General Secretary is a great stress for people who have something to lose. And the Smelyanskys and their guests are just like that - a real nomenklatura elite. But that's not the worst thing. In the evening, their thirteen-year-old son Seryozha and their friend's daughter Alena went to the cinema and did not return...
After a call "from the very top", police major Viktor Gordeyev is involved in the search for the missing children. His transfer to the position of deputy head of the "homicide" department depends on a quick and, most importantly, positive result. But what guarantees can there be? And if they are already dead? Moreover, a maniac is operating in the country, killing teenagers aged 13-16. And Gordeyev's friend, criminal investigation officer Leonid Cheremenin, assumes the worst.
However, his adopted daughter, a recent graduate of the Moscow State University Law School, Nastya Kamenskaya, has a different opinion: the missing children do not fit the serial killer's style. The police begin to work on all possible versions. And then the KGB joins the investigation...
The first retro detective story by Alexandra Marinina. A surprisingly accurate atmosphere of the late USSR, the mood of people, their fears and hopes. Criminals, police and KGB officers, ordinary citizens and those who were allowed to the "socialist trough" - each of them has their own story and their own motives.
