No Grasshopper in the Grass: A Novel

Ah, sweet childhood, school years! Serenity, first love, friends. Those who became the best for a lifetime. Not so fast! If there was a recognized queen in your class, her "subjects" didn’t have it easy. Years go by, you change — but the memory of school bullying sits like a thin splinter. Especially if the offender is still beautiful, successful, and happy. And the desire for revenge, to crush her life as she once crushed yours, raises its snake-like head.
The first beauty, Sveta Rogozina, gathers her former classmates for a meeting eighteen years after graduation. Why? To apologize? To boast of her wealth? Or to mock once more?
Well, her former victims have grown up — and are ready to resist. Private detectives Makar Ilyushin and Sergey Babkin will help unravel the knot of a murder, the thread of which stretches back many years, to the last school year of the 11th "A" class.
