The television popularity of Leonid Mlechin has not prevented fans of the detective genre from following his work for almost a quarter of a century. He is the author of many books of action-packed prose published in Russia and abroad. Colleagues jokingly call Leonid Mlechin “the Conan Doyle of our days.” He is one of the few who writes detective stories with a fast-paced plot and an incredible ending. The heroes of his stories, ordinary people, by a strange combination of circumstances find themselves drawn into dangerous, mysterious, and sometimes mystical stories. And only Leonid Mlechin knows whether this is fiction or something similar actually happens to our contemporaries.
