The book with illustrations by Oleg Pakhomov will complete the gift set, which has become a mini-series in the popular Adventureland series.
In the center of the plot is the investigation of a high-profile murder in the English village of Burlstone. The details of the mysterious case baffle the police. Who needed to kill a respected citizen? How did the criminal manage to get into an impregnable castle surrounded by a moat? Why is the victim's widow acting so suspicious? And finally, why did one dumbbell disappear from the castle?
But the story of this crime turns out to be much more complex and terrible than it seemed at first. It begins in one of the richest valleys in the United States, in the town of Vermissa. This once quiet town is now in the grip of a powerful secret lodge - prudent cold-blooded killers who destroy anyone who even unwittingly gets in their way. Here, everyone - from a simple shopkeeper to a mine owner - knows that he may very soon become the next victim ...
