A novel for those who are tired of template detective stories and are looking for a work with a large-scale, richly atmospheric setting. Here imperial palaces intertwine with intrigue, mysterious murders, family curses, and love tested by duels and wars. The book rekindles interest in true literature—deep, atmospheric, and captivating.
The action takes place in St. Petersburg in June 1809, where the city is overflowing with bureaucratic intrigues, boisterousness, and scorching riverside promenades. Russia is just beginning to recover after wars, while the capital lives a turbulent life of its own. A young officer, Izvolsky—hero of recent naval battles— is forced to leave the fleet because of his wound and to join the Office of Public Order (uprava blagochiniya). His first assignment is to investigate the mysterious murder of the hussar Mikhail Valevich. There are no traces of robbery, no weapon is found—only the strange word “rifle” was spoken before his death.
Investigating the chain of events, Izvolsky learns that Valevich and seven other men had previously served a sentence in the Peter and Paul Fortress and were released. Now someone begins killing those seven one by one. Gradually it becomes clear that this is not just a crime, but a carefully planned revenge. All seven—witnesses and participants in a terrible tragedy—are doomed. The killer is driven not by greed but by a thirst for revenge nursed for years, which, as is known, is served cold.
