The Old Guard

Captain Vera Ershova and her team receive a new task. They will have to investigate the circumstances of the fire that claimed the life of the school watchman Simonov. At first it seems that there was an accident, but Sapronov’s trained eye quickly notices inconsistencies. Bobrykin finds out that Simonov previously worked as a fire inspector. A strange death for a man with such a profession! Soon the “Old Guard” comes to the conclusion that a murder has been committed, and a very inventive one at that. And the criminal obviously does not intend to stop. Catching the villain is not so easy, because to kill his victims he uses clever traps that he sets in advance. One thing is clear: each of them is somehow connected with fire... The rivalry between Bobrykin and Sapronov for the heart of Lieutenant Colonel Romanova reaches a new level, and Vera falls more and more in love with Garik, whom she met during the investigation of one of the past cases. The situation is complicated by the fact that Garik is married, and feelings for him can cost Vera very dearly.
