Description

Fergus Hume (1859–1932) is an English writer and playwright who created more than 140 detective works and is well known to fans of the classic genre. In this audio version, his novel “The Opal Serpent” is presented in a Russian translation by the “Severo-Zapad” publishing house.

Paul Beecot is a man from a noble family. He dreams of becoming a writer, but his relatives do not approve of this choice and refuse to provide him with financial support. Still, Paul does not back down: after moving to another city, he decides to pawn an elegant snake-shaped brooch with an opal—a gift from his mother. And this step begins a mysterious story: the jewel is, in an unusual way, connected to the pawnshop owner—and then events lead to the search for killers and the uncovering of secrets that had been hidden for a long time and with great care. The continuation is in the audiobook.
