In a small, quiet town on the Volga, they have been searching for the missing owner of an ancient mansion for six months. Against this background, a new emergency, the disappearance of the son of a high-ranking official who lived next door, looks all the more ominous. While the secret services are in the soap, three friends, older women, decided to change their usual way of life. While implementing the “cultural program”, they encounter traces of a crime and accidentally solve it. This is how their exciting adventures begin. A light, ironic story, partly based on real events, for the reader who prefers the gradual unraveling of a tangle of mysteries - and human destinies - to chases and shootouts. Contains obscene language.
