Description

Ilya Holmsky works as an emergency doctor. An experienced specialist and solid, already no longer young man, he has one unique feature: by certain signs, Holmsky can determine who the killer is right at the crime scene. That’s why detectives gave him the nickname Doctor Holmes. Investigator Lidia Parfenteva wouldn’t mind starting a close relationship with Holmes, and at the same time making use of his abilities to solve several unsolved “cold cases” hanging over her. The Doctor goes to meet the young attractive woman. But the conclusions he reaches as a result of his investigation shock not only Lidia, but the entire Investigative Committee…

Vladimir Kolychev’s detectives and crime novels clearly differ from the works of most other authors writing in this genre. Not only does Vladimir describe crimes and police work vividly and accurately, he also tries to understand where and at what moment that very trigger is activated in people—turning an ordinary person into a killer. Each book is a picture of tragic and terrifying mistakes made by people who seem ordinary, living next to us and inside us… Vitaly EGOROV, the best detective in the Soviet Union according to the early 90s, winner of the YU. Semenov Prize.
