About the book: year / Bosom friends, but not old ladies Anna Sergeevna Istomina and Gelena Kazimirovna Novitskaya, instead of enjoying a well-deserved rest, are engaged in solving crimes. Or rather, they help the valiant police officers, led by Istomina’s husband, Major General Veselov. At the same time, the ladies also involve their favorites: the smart dog Rat, the clairvoyant and rhyme-weaving parrot Please, and the imposing cat Arnie.
