The modest pharmacist Dmitry Olegovich Kurochkin is a convinced homebody, because he knows about his clinical bad luck: as soon as he leaves the house, he will inevitably accidentally get involved either in a bloody showdown over a suitcase that seems harmless at first glance, or in a ridiculous story with kidnapped people jewelry, then into a nightmarish assassination attempt on a visiting celebrity... The novel consists of three stories - “The Apple of Discord”, “The Gestapo Game” and “The Dead Indian” - united by one main character.
