Death does not seek open doors...
A traveling salesman, Grigory Stasko, was killed in a furnished room in the Moscow region town of Dmitrov. He died from a blow to the temple with a knuckle duster, and the room was locked from the inside and the windows were closed. At the time of check-in, the guest had two baskets of expensive pocket watches and a substantial sum of money, which later disappeared. The case was assigned to the investigating magistrate Ivan Fedorovich Volovtsov. The suspect is the commoner Katz, who had previously threatened to deal with Stasko for her husband, who had offended her. In addition, her brother managed to pay at the nearest brothel with watches from the luggage of the murdered traveling salesman. It seems that the picture of the crime is clear... But Volovtsov is tormented by doubts. And it is no coincidence: a new suspect suddenly appears in the case...
A historical detective story about a crime from the beginning of the last century. The author so captivatingly immerses us in the atmosphere of that time that we literally hear the rumble of the pavement, the noise of the city market, the ringing of bells and the shrill whistles of the policemen...
