A novel that forms the legendary film of the same name, loved by many generations of Russian spectators.
In the family castle of Lord Warbeck, relatives and friends gather for Christmas. Suddenly, right during dinner, Robert Warbeck, the only son and heir to the old lord, dies. What is this murder or accident? There is nowhere to wait for help in the investigation - the mansion is cut off from the world with snowfall, the telephone line is disabled. Will guests independently calculate the killer hidden in the house or someone will become his next victim? He issued many sentences - but which of the criminals or their loved ones sentenced to him sent an anonymous letter with threats? At first, Barber does not take it seriously - but soon he only miraculously manages to avoid death. The police are inactive. And then the amateur detective Francis Pettigru is taken up to business-a person who has a real gift to ask the right people the necessary questions. However, will he have time to find out who wants to get rid of the judge until the killer carried out the plan?
