A Million Shades of Yellow

Author Elena visits the tiniest house in St. Petersburg. The residents let her in, even though they hurry to leave—because the woman carries off a bundled-up little baby, and the couple drives away in a car. Elena finds this suspicious—and rightly so: soon the apartment is attacked! It turns out the intruders also broke into the neighboring apartment belonging to General Fedoskina’s widow. Her magnificent black cat, named Begemotik, disappears, and then the abductors demand a gold bar in return. Fedoskina asks Elena and her friend Irka to help get the pet back, and they temporarily move into her apartment, not knowing that Begemotik’s disappearance is only the beginning. Elena Logunova’s fun detective stories offer intriguing plots, amusing adventures, and sparkling humor. Her heroines easily unravel complex crimes while staying charming and attractive.
