A dead curator is found in the freezer of the American Museum of Natural History. And in another state, a craftsman who made copies of ancient relics was shot dead. It soon becomes clear that the two murders are connected. While FBI Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast's colleagues are engaged in these investigations, he himself is engrossed in another case - a case in which he has a personal interest.

The enemy is too dangerous, and Pendergast is desperately looking for a way to help Constance. But is this possible? After all, both Leng and Constance are much further away than one might imagine...For the first time in Russian!
