The Street of the Mad Pharmacist

A new story with the hero of the novels “The Smile on the Asphalt” and “The Web of the Past”! This time, tour guide Artem Zubarev will have to connect two investigations: mysterious deaths in St. Petersburg in 1900, which the reporter Shubin links to the pharmacist Pel, and an attack on a girl in Paris in 2024.

In 1900. In St. Petersburg, women die one after another. Is it a sudden illness, a run of unfortunate accidents, or carefully concealed murders? Reporter of the “Petersburg Gazette” Lev Shubin is certain: the source of the trouble is the pharmacy of Dr. Pel.

In 2024. In Paris, a girl is attacked. Random hooliganism or a fragment of a far more dangerous story? Paris criminal police lieutenant Emmа Laurent has no doubts: the trail leads to the pharmaceutical company AlBina-farm.

Artem Zubarev has nothing to do with either Pel’s pharmacy or the modern company. But it is precisely he who will have to pull on the right threads to link the facts from different eras and unravel the tight knot of crimes.

A new meeting with the beloved hero will delight everyone who values atmospheric historical detective stories.
