On the Cooling Trails

1906. Empress Alexandra Feodorovna entrusted Prime Minister Stolypin with an unusual task. Two years ago, a miraculous icon of the Kazan Mother of God was stolen from a women's monastery in Kazan. The police found the thieves, but could not locate the relic itself. There were persistent rumors in society that the image was intact and hidden somewhere. Stolypin dispatched the best detective from the Police Department, Collegiate Councillor Lykov, to search for the icon. The detective left for Kazan. But as soon as he began the investigation, terrible events started to unfold in the city.
