Description
Princess Ragozina, a representative of high society with a sharp mind and a formidable fortune, possessed the ability to affect anyone’s life with a single word. Her straightforwardness was known to all, and many feared her. Nevertheless, every Friday her luxurious house in Moscow—decorated with marble elephants—welcomed guests for lunch. The event was considered highly prestigious, because it was there that one could win the princess’s support and find solutions to one’s hidden problems.
After one of those lunches, the hostess fell asleep in an armchair, as often happens after tense conversations. But that evening something terrible occurred: under her dress and coquettish cap, there was a young woman—brutally murdered.
What happened in this house? As it turned out, the princess’s dress had been worn by another woman. And why had she become a victim of murder? These questions must be answered by Count Vyslotsky, the best detective, who has been living a secluded life for two years and has not left his home. But Princess Ragozina is not used to giving up. She will find a way to persuade the count to take this case.
The historical detective stories of “The Investigations of Count Vyslotsky” carry the reader into the exciting atmosphere of the 1830s—offering unusual tales, delving into the intricate intertwining of fates, and inviting you to take part in the investigation alongside the main characters.
