About the book: 2023 / Having inherited a house, a friend invited Sasha to a small town near Moscow. It’s as if time has stopped here! The bells of the monasteries are ringing, the frozen river is shining, and smoke is wafting from the chimneys. The nuns are making cheese, the neighbor is baking pies with jam, the cat is purring nearby. Mermaids also splash in the wormwood - to the harvest, they say. But someone believed in an ancient legend: kill a girl, cut out her heart, give it to the dead princess, and you will be happy. And one after another they find the murdered girls in the winter forest. Would my friends allow this? We'll have to take matters into our own hands, especially since the Italian guests are of no use, they wouldn't get burned by shit and survive the bathhouse. Crimes and goodies... in Russian. It will be scary, sometimes fun, but always delicious.
