About the book: year / A beautiful woman’s life did not work out. She is forced to return from the capital to her home provincial town after divorcing her husband.

In the evenings, she attends accounting courses and, after completing them, finally finds a job in a thriving private company. The owner of the company looks at the handsome economist as a “dual-use personnel.” She agrees to come to the village for the weekend at the dacha of the owner of the company. However, circumstances are such that she cannot meet her owner and is forced to spend the night with a random person. A chance meeting grew into friendship, and then into something more. They have already decided to get married, when suddenly the groom is arrested on suspicion of murder. The owner of her company is shot here at the dacha with a gun... All the evidence is against the suspect. The motive for the murder is also obvious. The owner of the company tried to upset their marriage.
