Translated from the Finnish by Gabriele Schrey-Vasara

Viktor Kärppä has reduced his little detective agency to a sideline. But he makes ends meet: working as a subcontractor for various Helsinki construction firms, selling household appliances on the grey market in Russia and running a kiosk at a highway rest stop.
This peaceful existence comes to an end when a Helsinki teenager dies from contaminated heroin and further deaths follow. Both the Finnish police and former clients put pressure on Kärppä to activate his contacts to Russia. Who is behind the gang that is bringing the super-heroin to Helsinki?
Things are not made easier when Kärppä’s brother Aleksei arrives from St. Petersburg at the same time as the drugs, planning to settle down in Helsinki. Some people believe that Aleksei has a finger in the pie. Before he knows it, Viktor Kärppä is caught once again between the worlds of good and evil, forced to ask himself: what side is your brother on?
