In 1910, a body is found in a first-class compartment of a train at Moscow’s Kursky Railway Station. The man has been stabbed to death, but the motive for the murder isn’t immediately obvious. In his pockets, celebrated Detective Arkady Koshko finds a monogrammed wallet with some money in it, a handkerchief, and a decorated silver cigar case. It’s a baffling crime scene, with more questions than clues. Most investigators would be stumped, but Koshko isn’t like most investigators. Can Russia’s greatest detective get to the bottom of the case, before the killer strikes again?
