I, private detective Pavel Sinichkin, was approached by someone Vyacheslav Dvubratov, who gave the impression of a provincial bandit. He asked to find his missing lover Alena and immediately gave him an extremely generous advance. Alena worked as a manicurist, lived with her loser husband in a one-room apartment, they had no children - it seemed like there was nothing to catch on! To begin with, I went to talk to Alena’s husband, but found him killed. Nothing to say, a good start! I decided to abandon this dubious business, went to Dvubratov’s hotel to return the advance payment, but I also found him dead in his own room... What was the modest manicurist hiding if her disappearance entailed such strange and terrible events?
