There were only a few days left until August, the heat gradually subsided, and housewives made apricot jam and baked raspberry pies. Sweet smells floated and mingled through the open windows, the midday sun reflected on the polished parquet floor, and burgundy roses opened wide in an old porcelain vase. On such a day, all that remains is to enjoy the company of old friends and fluffy lemon cake, but, alas... The return of an old family to the city and the subsequent cold-blooded murder of a respectable lady and the kidnapping of a little girl upset plans and force you to look around more often - after all, it may well turn out that the guests are not who they say they are, and the killer has already chosen a new victim.
