1826 Intelligence of the Black Sea Fleet intercepts a report from a Turkish agent, signed with the code name Menelaus. The fleet commander instructs his favorite student, Prince Ordyntsev, to find and neutralize the spy. The tracks lead Dmitry to St. Petersburg, and here he is forced to ask for help from the new capital's bailiff, Captain Shcheglov. The captain takes up the investigation, but it is very difficult for Shcheglov, because two main pillars of Nicholas Russia are involved in the Menelaus case - Minister of War Chernyshev and the chief of gendarmes Benckendorf. “The Hunt for Menelaus” is the second novel from Martha Taro’s fascinating “Gallant Detective” series, in in which Tarot cards offer readers a new riddle.
