The Secret of the Old Estate

Nostalgia for times that have already become history. The author describes the atmosphere of the era and the characters’ inner state so realistically that you believe him instantly and without any conditions.

1965. The peace of a small northern town is suddenly broken by news of the murder of a young girl. The killer ambushed her after dancing, and the body was thrown into the fire pond. Investigator Vladimir Altufyev detains the main suspect—the fiancée of the murdered girl. However, he isn’t in a hurry to bring a heavy charge against the poor guy. Especially because at this time a new crime occurs in a neglected estate near the town. The investigator understands that he is dealing not with a drunken hooligan, but with a serious, well-prepared criminal pursuing a cunning goal…

A unique opportunity to return, for a while, to the recent past—and, with a sense of complete reality, live through with the heroes the most desperate stretch of their lives.
