For decades, brutal ritual murders have been taking place in Crimea. The victims, young women, were never identified. When police officers Maria Raiskaya and Evgeniy Krotov join the investigation team of the Simferopol police, the shadow of the missing women penetrates their daily lives. Soon a new corpse is discovered. Evgeny and Maria move from one discovery to another, and in the mountains of Crimea, a strange farming family seems to hold the key to solving the mystery. When creating the cover, an image of the Genoese fortress in Sudak was used.
