The most inhumane trade begins when a child becomes a small change coin...
The only daughter of the chief of police in Moscow, Nastenka, is kidnapped in broad daylight in the city center. The grief-stricken father received an anonymous letter: 'It is in your best interest not to involve the police in the investigation. Otherwise, your daughter will disappear without a trace...'
Witnesses questioned by private detective Marmeladov unanimously described the governor who took the girl. They also noted that Nastya was walking next to him, the kidnapper did not drag her by force, and he didn't even hold her hand.
And soon a ransom demand arrived. However, the criminal does not want money. If money were needed, the father would have produced any amount. But this condition simply shocked both the father and Marmeladov...
A complete immersion into the atmosphere of old Moscow in the 19th century - with its extravagant manners, merchant audacity, and bestial cruelty...
Stass Babitsky - journalist and writer, born in Baikal, grew up in the Caucasus, has been living in two beloved cities - Moscow and St. Petersburg - for over 20 years. He worked for the newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda" for many years and currently collaborates with the magazine "Antenna-Telesam". He became interested in studying historical documents ten years ago when he started compiling a family genealogical tree. Since then, he spends every vacation exclusively in the archives of various cities and departments, searching not only for emotional testimonies of eyewitnesses of the bygone era but also for plots for new detectives.
