Death on the Trans-Siberian Express

Olga Pushkin spends her days in a little rail-side hut dreaming of escaping the sleepy, snow-clad village of Roslazny. But Roslazny doesn't stay sleepy for long, as a crime wave disturbs the icy silence... One day Olga is knocked unconscious by a man falling from the Trans-Siberian, 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. Olga resolves to help Vassily by proving his innocence. But with no leads to follow and time running out, has Olga bitten off more than she can chew?
