3.99 €
Back in 1951, professor of botany Kantemirov during an expedition to Dombai Ulgen was accused of brutal murders of three women. With the help of a graduate student in love with him, Ninochka, the professor managed to escape to Moscow, where all suspicions were removed from him.
It would seem that so many years have passed, that long history has already grown. Ahn no!
In the suburbs with a difference of several days found the bodies of strangled women. Colonel Gushchin and helping him in the investigation, Claudius Mamontov and Makar Psaltyrnikov have no doubt that before them the deeds of a serial maniac. The murder pattern matches, as do the unusual details the strangler leaves on the victims' bodies. And they all point to that old case. Professor Kantemirov’s heirs did not take over his obsession with botany, but a different kind of obsession seems to be in their blood.
The novels of hereditary investigator Tatiana Stepanova allow the reader to visit the literary “room of fear”. Mysterious murders, the almost tangible atmosphere of crime, the agonizing and disturbing expectation of something unknown, frightening. All this Tatiana Stepanova manages to reproduce simply brilliantly. Random meetings, everyday affairs, insignificant details are depicted in her detectives in a special, dramatic light, like a harmless spring meadow before a rapidly approaching thunderstorm.
