In Ivan Pogo’nin’s collection of stories “The Secret of Saint Elzbeta,” the narrative continues about the everyday life of Russian police and the adventures of detective supervisor Osip Tarakanov. In 1912, Tarakanov works in Moscow and the Moscow Governorate, investigating a series of audacious robber attacks. Then, in 1914, fate sends him far from his native places… War begins, and Tarakanov—who had been planning to retire—decides to continue serving and becomes the head of the detective office in Lviv. And his first serious investigation leaves him stunned. Near the walls of a recently built Church of Saint Elzbeta, they find a mutilated body of a girl whom the local police officer believes was a suicide. But Tarakanov thinks differently. While investigating the crime, he learns the name of the killer, but he doesn’t have time to report it…
