Mysterious murders happen not only in good old England, but also in the hectic modern New York. A chilling crime took place in a very respectable house - a double murder. What do a lonely, poor old woman and an artist who has an inheritance have in common? Nothing. And yet both lived in the same house, and both were killed. There are more than enough suspects, but the problem is that everyone has a 100% alibi. The police throw up their hands, and then Desiree Shapiro, a private detective who previously only investigated adultery and looked for rogue cats, gets down to business. The debutante brilliantly reveals a cunning crime, and her life takes a sharp turn: from now on, Desiree Shapiro is assigned to investigate only the most intricate, strange and unusual crimes.
