The third season of the Series begins with another murder in Severogorsk. This time, the tragic event takes place in the city’s restaurant world. During the presentation of a new gastronomic set by a renowned chef, Maxim Kovalev, the city’s most prominent restaurateur, suddenly died. Several guests were hospitalized with signs of poisoning. And everything points to this being no accident: not spoiled food and not a cook’s mistake, but a cold-blooded plan—a murder aimed not only at Maxim’s life, but also at the reputation of his establishment.
