Black Cat

Another book by the legendary duo Leonov — Makeev.

A famous lawyer, Leonid Chernukhin, was found dead in his apartment. The cause of death was a stab wound to the heart. A suicide note was found here: «…clinical depression… I can't... live like this anymore…». At first glance, it seems like a typical suicide. But the police colonels Gurov and Kryachko, who are investigating the case, do not believe this version. All fingerprints have been wiped from the apartment, the garbage has been taken out — clearly, there was someone else at the crime scene… The detectives check disgruntled clients of the lawyer, his son, who extorted money from his father for gambling — all of them have alibis. Who could want the lawyer dead? The answer came to the operatives from a similar crime that occurred soon after…
