An alternative history, modern times. Alexandria Nevska, the Northern capital of the flourishing Orducea. One of the most revered books of the great nation—“The Song of Igor’s Campaign”—tells of the joyful meeting of the state’s creators and the ensuing fun wedding. Even in Aslaniye, from where lunchzun Bagatyr Lobo and minfa Bogdan Ouianțev-Syu returned after defeating the scorpion kidnappers (“The Case of the Independent Dervishes”), Bag accidentally stumbled upon this book and was struck by its contents—about disgraceful battles and betrayal. How could an unknown author dare to so distort the native history? But in the midst of Bag’s worries and affairs, he forgot about the book: a new disaster broke out in the capital—boyars from the Alexandrian Cathedral Assembly, as if deranged, began settling scores with life. Hand in hand with Bogdan, and helped by the noble Judge’s cat, Bag started unraveling this strange case, and by the end he also remembered that unpleasant book. Only then did the man-for-justice solitaire finally click in his head!.. The thrilling adventures of respectable criminal investigators continue, and the attempt by misguided people to cast a shadow over the sacred text for all inhabitants of the wonderful Orducea will be put to shame!
