After all, what else would you call a person who managed, in just a few days, to uncover the most complicated scam involving interest-bearing securities stolen from a respectable capital bank? And this scam was connected with murders. That became another step in raising Osip Grigorievich to the position of chief of the city detective police in Tula. But it was there that something happened that toppled him—like Icarus, at the end of his flight.
