Softcover. Etat : Fine. Leichte Abnutzungen; Gebogener Buchrücken. St Petersburg. Winter. 1867. Two frozen bodies are found in an isolated corner of Petrovsky Park. The first that of a dwarf has been packed neatly in a suitcase, a deep wound splitting his skull in two. The second body, of a burly peasant, is hanging from a nearby tree, a bloody axe tucked into his belt. The detective Porfiry Petrovich, in his first murder case since Dostoevsky s Crime and Punishment, suspects the truth may be more complex than others wish him to believe. His investigation leads him from the squalid tenements, brothels and drinking dens of the city s Haymarket district to an altogether more genteel stratum of society. Atmospheric and tense from its dramatic opening to its shocking climax. N° de réf. du vendeur 5bb2c8b6-50a4-4720-a006-9d6499e3e60f
