In 1904, the book "A Charming Woman: Twenty-Four Criminal Stories" was published. These "criminal stories"—lightly and wittily written detective novellas—were based on actual cases of the St. Petersburg detective police of the early 20th century. Their author, intimately familiar with the criminal life of St. Petersburg at the time, was none other than Mikhail Frolovich Chulitsky (1840–1921), the head of the criminal investigation police.

"Observing the diverse personalities of criminals, among whom there are also outstanding characters, I was often struck by the complexity and elusive uniqueness of the combination of the most disparate influences that culminate in their fateful fate and cast them out of society." Thus begins the author's preface to this collection of true detective stories, which even today will find something to surprise the sophisticated fan of the genre: life sometimes invents plots that would be the envy of the most sophisticated writer's mind.
