Daria Desombre's "Network of Birds" is a historical detective, transporting the reader to 1812, to the time point when Napoleon crosses the Neman, crushes Bagration, and he retreats in a hurry. The enemy army must stop for rest, so one of the French divisions turns out to be in the estate of the Lipetsky princes, forced to make room and take the enemy to the post. However, soon a terrible crime occurs in the Lipetsky estate called Privolye - peasant girls begin to disappear. After a while, they are found strangled. The child killer seemed to be waiting for the right moment to start doing his terrible deeds, or perhaps he came with the French army? The authorities are not able to understand this - there is a war, an official investigation is impossible. And then, in the name of justice, the young Princess Lipetskaya forgets about the enmity and unites with the major of the French army to conduct her own investigation and find the murderer.
