I had no idea what dangerous game I was involved in. Who would know who the magician of the royal secret office, whom I tried to follow in order to write a sensational article, would actually turn out to be. But that’s not so bad: it suddenly turns out that my father, one of the founders of the editorial board of Vechernyaya Arrania, is alive. And Maynard is the only one who can lead me to him. What is hidden behind the crime that ordinary gendarmes did not take on, who is behind all this? And who are the shadows with which this story begins?.. Was it worth stirring up the ball if friends could suddenly turn out to be enemies, and the one I’m looking for doesn’t want me to find him at all. I didn’t immediately understand: it’s better to know less in order to just stay free. 16+
