My General

Younger Moscow professor Marina arrives at a sanatorium on the Volga for vacation. She dreams of an adventure, preferably a detective one, or at least a romantic one. And she gets everything in the very first day in one bottle.... The wind blew her hat into the pond, and while retrieving it, Marina saw a drowned man in the water. The police considered it an accident. But Marina is sure — it is murder. She noticed one strange detail… But who to share it with? She confides her secret to Fyodor Tuchkov, whom she initially considered a very suspicious character, but by the next day he became her partner. A resort romance is brewing, which she resists with all her professor's strength. But then another vacationer dies, someone who knew some secret about the drowned man. Marina has no choice but to trust Tuchkov again, especially since it turned out he is a professional…Tatiana Ustinova is a top author of contemporary Russian prose, a holder of two "Electronic Letter" awards, and a laureate of the "TEFI" award in the category of "Screenwriter of a Television Film." "First among the Best" — this is how Tatiana Vitalyevna is referred to, and it is not just a witty epithet, but a title confirmed by dozens of written novels, successful adaptations, and, of course, the love of her many fans.
