Cyclops and Nymph

These crimes occurred in the city of Bronitsy with a difference of one and a half centuries... In ancient times, a sharp saber took the lives of two beautiful lovers – Melania and Makari, the noblewoman and her serf actor... The double murder is investigated by the world mediator Alexander Pushkin, the poet's son, and his friend – the landowner Claudius Mamontov. In our time, Savva Psaltyrnikov – a high-ranking official who managed to amass a huge fortune, build a manor, acquire real estate abroad, and open bank accounts – died from poison. And he didn't have time to transfer all of this to his son... At the request of the police chief, an undercover investigation is being conducted by Ekaterina Petrovskaia, a crime reporter for the Press Center of the Main Department of Internal Affairs, and Claudius Mamontov – a descendant of that very landowner and a namesake. What motivated the criminals – greed, revenge, passion? And is there a connection between the modern poisoning and the murder from a century and a half ago?..
