Известный блогер Олег Рокотов между делом написал статью о звезде советского фигурного катания, даже не предполагая, к чему это приведет. Двадцать лет назад Ладу Воронцову убили в ее же квартире: нанесли семнадцать ножевых ранений, отрезали волосы и разбросали их по комнате. Ритуал? Или инсценировка, чтобы все подумали на маньяка?

Рокотов так и думал, но когда и его самого попытались убить, осознал: убийца Лады не просто жив, он жаждет, чтобы о нем снова заговорили.
