Evil People

A collection of seven detective novellas. The fearless investigator of the Nizhny Novgorod police, Alexey Lykov, and his friend and colleague, state councilor Pavel Blagovo, investigate cases – each one more complicated than the last: about a gang of horse thieves, about a village of stranglers, about the murder of a gymnasium student, about the mysterious treasure of Yemelyan Pugachev, about the poisoning of a merchant with toxic quails, and also – about the murder of a pharmacist-drug dealer. A stylish thrilling detective – in the best traditions of the retro genre!
