The Case of the Independent Dervishes

Alternative history. Our days. An amazing vast state of Ordus, where the official language is Chinese and the sayings of Confucius are commonly used; within its borders, various nations coexist well, practicing their religions and discussing life in their own... dialects. Although sometimes some unaware citizens infringe upon harmony. And then there is nothing left to do but reveal the deluded and stop them. Such is the work of the detective master Bagatur Lobo and scholar-lawyer Bogdan Rukhovich Ouyantsev-Syu. They met and became friends while searching for the personal cross of the saint and great martyr Sisoji. The investigation, among other things, took Baga aboard the ferry "Saint Evlampiy," which crashed due to a fight instigated by several questionable individuals, and not all of them fell into the hands of justice. One day, Baga accidentally meets in a restaurant a brawler from the ferry—a dervish from the Aslaniv district, and when he heads home to Aslaniv, Baga chases after him. Soon Bogdan arrives there as well. However, the lawyer is not concerned about the dervishes; he is searching for his abducted wife… The captivating continuation of the adventures of the brave detectives, richly seasoned with the traditions of the boundless Ordus, will bring you true pleasure.
