After a grueling case in Oklahoma leaves them emotionally drained, best friends Pearl and Violet decide a change of scenery is exactly what they need. They trade the familiar dusty plains for the icy grandeur of Russia, hoping for a quiet vacation filled with history and sightseeing. However, the peace they crave is short-lived. In this series debut, they stumble upon a local mystery that authorities seem eager to overlook. From the bustling streets of Moscow to the snowy outskirts, Pearl and Violet must use their sharp small-town wit to navigate a world where everyone has secrets. As they solve a high-stakes crime, they find that while the terrain is cold, the friendships they forge are warm enough to last a lifetime.
