"Breter" is the first novel in Yulia Yakovleva's new detective series, set in the early 19th century. The author evokes the era with the atmosphere of a modern hard-boiled detective: a Russian captain of 1812, unwittingly turned detective, solves a crime that seems contemporary—yet possible at any time.
The events of the first book unfold in the fall of 1812. The war is still raging, but already retreating further west, toward Europe, and officers are gradually arriving in St. Petersburg—some on leave, others wounded. Murin decides to end his leave early and return to the war. But in the morning, the sister of his regimental comrade, Proshin, comes to him asking for help: her brother has been arrested in a gambling house for the brutal murder of a woman. The girl cannot believe her brother could have done such a thing and asks Murin to find the truth, no matter how bitter it may be. Proshin himself doesn't remember what happened and believes he could have killed while drunk and in a fit of rage. Murin decides to spend the rest of his vacation searching for the truth, which turns out to be more cynical than expected. But the real culprit doesn't escape justice.
