About the book: 2003 / Do you want me to tell a wild story? I, Evlampia Romanova, a steros fool, agreed to fly with my neighbor, an entrepreneur, to Thailand. His partner got sick. There I almost died from the heat, and I also had to take two live crocodiles back. They were ordered by Professor Baratyansky for his scientific experiments. Upon arrival in Moscow, my neighbor broke his leg, and I took the alligators to the professor’s home. But there, instead of Baratyansky, I found his corpse with a hole in his forehead. The lover of his young wife Irochka was arrested on suspicion of murder. She hired me to investigate this case because she did not believe in her lover’s guilt. In the process, I learned a lot of unpleasant things about the professor’s family. In particular, that his late first wife bought antique jewelry during the blockade, exchanging them for stolen food. Maybe someone is taking revenge on the professor, thinking that he was involved in this? But then Irochka was killed right in front of me! And what do you want me to do now??..
