Кладбище чужих секретов

Kratkoe opredelenie intelligentnogo cheloveka takovo: on ochenʹ khochet datʹ komu-to v glaz, no sderzhivaetsi͡a i radostno ulybaetsi͡a vsemu miru. Vot i Ivan Podushkin vsegda raduetsi͡a klientam, dazhe esli oni prikhodi͡at bez preduprezhdenii͡a. Povod dli͡a vizita k detektivu u vracha Derevi͡ankina Rudolʹfa okazalsi͡a prosto uzhasnym. Ego matʹ, ėkst͡sentrichnai͡a Ėlli, umerla pri vesʹma strannykh obstoi͡atelʹstvakh. Vskrytie obnaruzhilo otravlenie adskim kokteĭlem iz raznykh preparatov. Rudolʹf prosit Ivana naĭti ubiĭt͡su. V poiskakh pravdy syshchik stalkivaetsi͡a s zagadochnym "Velikim Zhret͡som". Ego ritualy v zabroshennom sele Bakino svi͡azyvai͡ut zhizni materi Rudolʹfa, ee podrugi Nikoletty i drugikh vlii͡atelʹnykh person. Misticheskie sobranii͡a, kladbishche sekretov i voda iz prokli͡atogo bolota - kli͡uchi k razgadke smerti Ėlli...Darʹi͡a Dont͡sova - samyĭ populi͡arnyĭ i vostrebovannyĭ avtor v nasheĭ strane, li͡ubimit͡sa millionov chitateleĭ.

I͡A ne znai͡u ni odnogo drugogo pisateli͡a, kotoryĭ stolʹko rabotal by. I͡A otnoshusʹ k neĭ s uvazheniem, kak k obrazt͡su pisatelʹskogo trudoli͡ubii͡a.

The brief definition of an intelligent person is this: he really wants to punch someone in the eye, but holds back and smiles happily at the whole world. So Ivan Podushkin always welcomes clients, even if they come without warning. The reason for visiting the detective at Derevyankin's doctor Rudolf turned out to be simply terrible. His mother, the eccentric Ellie, died under very strange circumstances. The autopsy revealed poisoning with an infernal cocktail of various drugs. Rudolf asks Ivan to find the killer. In search of the truth, the detective encounters a mysterious "Great Priest." His rituals in the abandoned village of Bakino connect the lives of Rudolf's mother, her friend Nicoletta and other influential people. Mystical gatherings, a cemetery of secrets, and water from a cursed swamp are the keys to solving Ellie's death...Daria Dontsova is the most popular and sought—after author in our country, a favorite of millions of readers. More than 200 million copies of her books have been sold in Russia.Her work fills hearts and souls with light, optimism, joy, and confidence in the future!"Dontsova is an incredible hard worker! I do not know of any other writer who has worked so much. I respect her as a model of hard work as a writer. Women need psychological support and receive it from Dontsova. I've read several of Dontsova's novels myself. It is read by very different people. And very busy businesswomen to turn off their heads for a while, and housewives who have a break of 15-20 minutes between taking the kids and picking them up." — Galina Yuzefovich, literary critic
