The genius of the capital's detectives
A historical detective story about a crime from the early 20th century. The author so captivatingly immerses us in the atmosphere of that time that we practically hear the rumble of the pavement, the bustle of the city market, the ringing of bells, and the shrill whistles of the police…
In the late autumn of 1903, a commoner named Kolobov approached a Moscow police station and demanded to be arrested for the murder of an old general's wife and her maid, which he had committed in Ryazan. He was so convincing that the police immediately complied with his request. The next morning, Kolobov was found dead in his cell…
Ivan Fedorovich Volovtsov, a magistrate specializing in especially important cases, was tasked with investigating the deceased's involvement in the double murder. He traveled to Ryazan and resumed the investigation. But not a single witness recognized Kolobov from his photograph. A defendant was already involved in the case, and his trial would soon begin. However, Volovtsov was alarmed by such haste. He understands that the accusation was hastily brought forward, many facts contradict each other, the motive is not entirely clear... Ivan Fyodorovich decides to re-examine the details of the crime and soon, unexpectedly for everyone, makes a stunning conclusion...
