A serial killer has appeared in the city, stalking young women. The victims are not similar in appearance and belong to different social classes, so it is unclear why the maniac chooses them.

Gradually, the two cases intertwine, leading the investigators to frightening discoveries
Nothing can stop a woman when she is driven by passion. Turning to reason when passion pushes you to commit a crime is like trying to stop a tsunami with words. But Irina Gradova knows how to tame exactly such heroines - powerful and reckless, blinded by love and ready to go for broke, daring and rebellious, like the elements
