A terrible crime shocked the provincial town. A young girl was raped and brutally murdered. The killer himself was found next to her - in a state of severe drug intoxication, with a bloody knife in his hands. Newspapers and television are eagerly reporting the details. The chain of serial crime of a maniac has closed. But why is detective Tanya Ivanova, hired by the wife of the accused for a private investigation, being blackmailed? Why do they threaten “We will do anything”? She doesn’t know who this “we” is. But it’s better to take a risk than to reproach yourself later for not stopping an innocent person from being convicted.
