A stylish series by the fashionable author of retro detectives Nikolai Svechin. The book will be a gift for all fans of the action-packed genre!
Nikolai Svechin is one of the most famous authors of historical detectives, a nominee for the Russian Detective Award and a leader in his niche.
Svechin's most famous series is the series about Alexei Lykov's investigations. It already has more than 20 novels and collections, each of which has a separate story of crimes, but recognizable characters. The effect of an action-packed series.
In the spring of 1884, the dark, heavy ice melted from the Neva late. A chilly damp wind began to wash hideous, swollen corpses onto the banks and shallows. This time there were simply monstrously many of them. However, the St. Petersburg police quickly and without a shadow of a doubt found the reasons: either drowning due to carelessness, or in an alcoholic state, or in unconsciousness. Accidents, what can you do...
The Vice Director of the Police Department, Pavel Afanasyevich Blagovo, disagrees with the official point of view. Together with Alexey Lykov, he seeks permission to re-open the body of a certain innkeeper Ostashkov, who allegedly fell into the river while drunk. The results of the analysis of the water in the deceased's lungs stun Blagovo...
The book consists of five short stories, returning the reader to the times of the young Lykov and the still living Blagovo.
