The Beady-eyed, Big-eared Trouble

What kind of beast is this — the beady-eyed, big-eared trouble? It turns out to be a very angry and dangerous creature that dwells in the stone jungles of Moscow…

Olga Bulkina, a psychic, fortune-teller, healer, and, in general, a jack-of-all-trades, turned to Ivan Podushkin for help. A blackmailer is tormenting her. It's not an original story at all, if it weren't for one nuance: the extortionist — Aлик — is the son of Olga's closest friend, who died in infancy. She killed herself when she learned that her schoolgirl daughter had killed her newborn brother. And now Aлик has been resurrected! He is stalking Bulkina, sending her threatening letters, and sitting in her car… Not only does Ivan Pavlovich already have enough problems with ghosts, but now Mama Nicolette has decided to marry off her friend, which forces Vanya to resort to theft! Podushkin is not happy that he got Bulkina as a client. But once you call yourself a mushroom, you have to get into the basket. The gentleman detective will find the real blackmailer and discover who this beady-eyed, big-eared trouble is!
