This is a fascinating journey to Russia in the mid-19th – early 20th centuries. Crimes in those days were not at all harmless, and detective techniques were very different from modern ones. However, the intelligence, observation, resourcefulness and logic of detectives were then considered the main tools and were valued as highly as they are now. Next in the “Golden Collection of Detective Stories” series will be published collections of fantastic, mystical, ironic, political, spy detectives and thrillers.
