Tatiana Petrovna, coraggiosa giornalista d'inchiesta, ha lasciato Mosca per dedicarsi a un misterioso incarico. Arkady Renko, leggendario investigatore e suo amante, sa che deve preoccuparsi, perché conosce troppo bene i nemici della donna e quello che sono disposti a fare per tenerla buona. Renko inizia quindi un lungo e pericoloso viaggio in Siberia per trovare Tatiana.

È il giugno del 2021 e Arkady Renko è consapevole che la Russia sta pianificando di invadere e successivamente annettere l'Ucraina, come già accaduto con la Crimea nel 2014. Tuttavia, l'ispettore è distratto da altre preoccupazioni: la sua compagna di lunga data, Tatiana Petrovna, lo ha lasciato per dedicarsi al lavoro di reporter investigativa; i suoi superiori corrotti lo hanno relegato a un impiego d'ufficio per tenerlo fuori dai giochi; e, inoltre, una visita medica ha rivelato che i suoi problemi di destrezza e di equilibrio sono i primi sintomi del morbo di Parkinson.

Maya ha solo quindici anni e tutto ciò che possiede è una borsa contenente la sua bambina appena nata quando, in viaggio nella notte su un treno diretto a Mosca, accetta da un'anziana compagna di viaggio una tazza di tè e piomba subito in un sonno profondo.

Quello che ha tutta l'aria del decesso per overdose di una prostituta non inganna l'ispettore Arkady Renko.
