Bold hopes of Karabas-Barabas

Ivan Pavlovich has no rest - he has a teenage daughter now. And now Podushkin needs to dress, shoe, and entertain the girl. The detective's responsibilities have increased. But Sasha turned out to be not a burden, but an excellent assistant, as they together unraveled another complex case. Angelica Zubova came to his detective agency office. The girl asks to find her brother Robert. Supposedly, he killed their father when Angelica was still little. Robert was convicted, served his sentence, was released, and disappeared. Zubova told that her relatives voiced different versions of what happened, and now she wants to figure it out herself. Podushkin takes on the case and realizes that he understands nothing. According to some data, Robert is alive, according to others - dead. There is a grave, but no one is in it! Head spinning. And yet Ivan Pavlovich found Robert. He found him where no one would have ever dreamed of even in a nightmare. Darya Dontsova is the most popular and in-demand author in our country, beloved by millions of readers. Over 200 million copies of her books have been sold in Russia. Her work fills hearts and souls with light, optimism, joy, and confidence in tomorrow! "Dontsova is an incredible hard worker! I don't know any other writer who works so much. I respect her as a model of hard work in writing. Women need psychological support and they get it from Dontsova. I myself have read several of Dontsova's novels in the past. Her books are read by very different people. Very busy business ladies to switch off their minds for a while, and housewives who have a 15-20 minute break between dropping off and picking up their children." - Galina Yuzefovich, literary critic
