Sometimes I publish works by members of the London Detective Club, sometimes detective stories about impossible crimes, sometimes provincial detective stories, and this novel belongs to all three categories at once! And also to a scientific detective! (I wonder if the audience of science fiction and science detective work overlaps?) An archaeological find, its theft, and four murders with a very unclear cause of death - Sir Clinton Driffield will have something to investigate, but he will solve this mystery too! Detective J. J. Connington "The Guy" from the casket" - for the first time in Russian!
