Back in 1951, Professor of botany Kantemirov was accused of the brutal murders of three women during an expedition to Dombai-Ulgen. With the help of a graduate student in love with him, Ninochka, the professor managed to escape to Moscow, where he was cleared of all suspicion…It would seem that so many years have passed, that old story has already grown… But no!The bodies of strangled women were found in the Moscow region with a difference of several days. Colonel Gushchin and Klavdiy Mamontov and Makar Psaltyrnikov, who are helping him in the investigation, have no doubt that they are facing the deeds of a serial maniac. The pattern of the murders matches, as do the unusual details that the strangler leaves on the victims' bodies. And they all point to that long-ago case. The heirs of Professor Kantemirov did not adopt his obsession with botany, but obsession of a different kind, apparently, is in their blood... The chief of the criminal police of the region, Colonel Gushchin and his partners, Claudius Mamontov and Makar Psaltyrnikov, will have to solve a new detective-mystical puzzle in the action-packed novel by Tatyana Stepanova "The Root of Evil among Herbs"…Tatyana Stepanova is a police lieutenant colonel, a former employee of the Press Center of the Moscow region Police Department and an investigator, which is why her stories so plausibly and in detail describe the investigation of criminal mysteries.
