Countess Margarita Rostovtseva dreams of participating in the official investigation and meets the chief of the detective police, Zybin, who is busy investigating the murder of the nobleman Dolgopolov. The motive for the crime is not clear. There is a legend going around the city about an accessible woman, supposedly very skilled in love and hiding her face. Many gentlemen are looking for meetings with her and want to reveal her incognito. Meanwhile, two more victims appear. Perhaps the culprit of the murders is the same Camellia, a high-ranking kept woman. They say that men are ready to do anything for her favor... This detective plot easily fits into the outline of the novel by the modern writer Sofia. Because she herself finds herself in the center of similar events: a certain lady kills rich men on the road and takes their expensive cars... The book was also published under the title “Confession of Camellia.”
