Tatiana Bocharova's detective melodramas from the "Detective of Strong Passions" series are fascinating, action-packed novels for a wide readership, where reality is recognizable, you can see yourself and your loved ones in the characters, traditional values are spelled out, good triumphs over evil in the finale and justice triumphs. A large and friendly family gathered in a Moscow apartment: three daughters, the husbands of the eldest - Sonya and Katya - and the head of the family Inga Nikolaevna Breslavskaya. Sons-in-law Yaroslav and Albert go to the nearest supermarket and... do not return. The sisters sound the alarm, but both men's phones are turned off. By the next evening, having called all hospitals and morgues, the girls contact the police. An unsuccessful search begins. The youngest of the sisters, Dasha, who has long been hopelessly in love with Yaroslav, the husband of her older sister Katya, cannot find a place for herself. She tries to come to the aid of the investigation, and what she learns about her family members horrifies her.
