Description
From assistant inspector to head of criminal investigation in the Russian Empire. The most famous cases of the legendary detective Arkady Koshko are as exciting as the investigations of Scotland Yard.
To solve crimes, Koshko used disguises: make-up and changing clothes, actively recruited secret agents, applied fingerprinting, and created a card index of criminals based on their anthropometric data. Thanks to these methods, criminals of all kinds ended up in his network—from robbers and killers to cardsharps and swindlers.
