The third book in the “Pink Mothballs” series. In the previous book, “Jam Day,” the magic word “KGB” was heard, which solved one pressing problem, but gave rise to other, unpredictable ones. The year 1976 ends. But the adventures of Odessa students do not end both in Kharkov and in Odessa, where they returned to celebrate the New Year. This period of their life is closely connected with representatives of power, who in the most unexpected way appear either in the form of a hidden threat, or as a fair arbiter of destinies, or as a policeman begging for help. Emerging childhood memories of the police complement the picture of relationships, and funny school and student stories add a truly Odessa flavor. And, of course, adventures, feats and triumphs, as always, follow each other in a chain of exciting episodes and vivid impressions.
