Deadly Insult

Another book by the legendary tandem Leonov — Makeev.

The 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 also found: «…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, investigating the case, do not believe this version. All fingerprints in the apartment were wiped clean, and the trash was taken out — clearly, someone else was at the crime scene... The detectives check the dissatisfied clients of the lawyer, his son, who extorted money from his father for gambling — all of them turn out to have alibis. Who could wish the lawyer dead? The answer was suggested to the operatives by a similar crime that occurred soon after…
