Major Pronin and the Secrets of Black Magic

As you know, in the twentieth century there were three great detectives - Sherlock Holmes, Erkul Poirot and Major Pronin. The latter can also be considered as an analogue of agent 007 - James Bond. At the same time, the novels about Bond began to be published in the 1950s, and works about the Pronin in the late 1930s. The protagonist of Soviet espionage literature, the thunderstorm of all foreign residents Ivan Pronin, is investigated by the most mysterious and mystical crime of the Soviet era. This is a real detective in a Soviet way-scary, witty and stylish. This novel was found in the writer’s archive quite recently, published by limited circulations and became a bibliographic rarity
