And one day Olga arrives at her hut only to be knocked unconscious by a man falling from the Trans-Siberian an American tourist with his throat cut from ear to ear and his mouth stuffed with 10-ruble coins. Another death soon follows and Sergeant Vassily Marushkin the brooding enigmatic policeman who takes on the case finds himself falsely imprisoned by his Machiavellian superior Chief-Inspector Babikov.
