Better a cuckoo in the sky than a cuckoo in your head. Viola thought about this on the way to a small town near Moscow, looking forward to a fun adventure. The Elephant publishing house asked Viola Tarakanova, who writes under the pseudonym Arina Violova, to go to Kustovo to take part in the Treasure Hunt game there. The game was started by the local mayor Petr Zotov to attract tourists to his city. The idea was that Vilka should find a golden chest containing the diary of Evdokia, a local celebrity, and use it for her book. Tarakanova arrives in Kustovo, settles in the mayor's house and enters the game. But the organizers gave the wrong plan of the area, so Vilka accidentally digs out not a chest, but a box ... with a children's shirt in brown spots, a ball and a knife! Tarakanova finds out that this is evidence of a long-standing murder of a little boy, and the offender is already in prison. But the convict's beloved woman is sure of his innocence and asks Viola to prove it. And when Wilka finds out who the real villain is, she becomes completely uneasy. After all, this man was too, too close!

“Dontsova is an incredible hard worker! I don't know of any other writer who has worked so hard. I treat her with respect as a model of writer's diligence. Women need psychological support and receive it from Dontsova. I myself once read several novels by Dontsova. It is read by very different people. And very busy business women to turn off their heads for a while, and housewives who have a break of 15–20 minutes between taking and picking up their children.” – Galina Yuzefovich, literary critic.
