About the book: 2014 / “So it’s not fair to kill!” Wally Carter, the obnoxious husband of a millionaire, is killed during a picnic. The case seems completely ordinary to the experienced Inspector Hemingway, because many people had a motive to get rid of Wally - his wife, her longtime admirer, stepdaughter, pupil, and even a guest at home. However, very soon the inspector establishes that none of the suspects had either the time or the opportunity to use the murder weapon. Literally everyone has an alibi. So which of the guests is lying? “The Christmas Dagger” A merry Christmas celebration in a rich country mansion ended in a scandal: the owner of the house quarreled with the guests, and finally promised to disinherit his nephew. And in the morning the owner of the mansion was found dead in the bedroom, with a dagger in his chest. Inspector Hemingway, leading the investigation, is sure that his nephew killed his uncle, because he had a serious motive. The evidence points to this. But others present also had reason to wish him dead. No one has an alibi... Translation: Alexander Sanin, Vladimir Sokolov
