Ace of Spades

In the summer of 1875, Moscow trembled at a series of brutal murders. In the Neskuchny Garden, a villain had already stabbed three young women, not just any simple girls or townsfolk, but ladies-in-waiting from the emperor's entourage.

Near each victim,... a playing card was found—the Ace of Spades. The police were at their wits' end. They had to seek the help of a former convict who knows how criminals think.

This is private detective Marmeladov, who served a significant sentence for murder. He is forced to constantly solve puzzles to not slip back and let the darkness drown his mind.

Who is the murderer? A lone maniac? Or is there a secret society behind the crimes? Try to figure out what the cursed Ace of Spades hints at.

A complete immersion into the atmosphere of old Moscow of the 19th century—with its extravagant manners, merchant bravado, and brutal cruelty…
