“The Mystery of the Noble Estate” is the novel by Alexander Alefirenko, the first book of the eponymous cycle; genre: detective, adventures.
On a summer morning in 1973, in the courtyard of five-story Khrushchev-era apartment blocks, behind the building of a transformer substation, a dead body of an elderly woman is accidentally discovered. The carpenter Kimych recognizes the victim as a cleaner from the House of Culture where he works together with her. At first it seems like an ordinary murder on domestic grounds. But not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. Sofya Alekseyevna Vishnevskaya is the daughter of the former owners of the noble estate where the House of Culture is now located. She is also the only surviving member of the city’s underground network, destroyed by the fascists in the autumn of 1942.
Together with his young friend, Sergey Koltsov—the secretary of the Komsomol organization of the House of Culture—carpenter Kimych tries to understand the far from simple murder of “the Countess,” as Sofya Alekseyevna was nicknamed at work. They don’t believe that she was killed by the neighbor Sienka-Alkash, who the police detained on suspicion of the murder…
