When Alex Benedict was offered a unique device from the era of the first interstellar flights, the space antiques dealer could not have imagined that the trace of this artifact would stretch far from Earth. Somewhere, as Alex finds out, in some secret place with the incomprehensible name Larisa, a collection of artifacts is kept that belonged to the late Garnett Bailey, a famous space archaeologist. And like any true antiquarian, Alex Benedict sets out to find the lost treasure. The novel is being published in Russian for the first time.
