The Yellow Angel

1916. The capital city, engulfed in avant-garde fever, stands still in anticipation of an imminent catastrophe. A war veteran, now an investigator for the tsarist secret police, Andrei Eustafyev, is investigating a murder of a young girl committed with devilish aesthetics, while a mysterious avenger in a top hat and mask pursues the detective himself...
«The Yellow Angel» is a vivid modernist detective story by the young screenwriter Dmitry Yeletskiy («From Tuesday to Saturday», «The Outpost») and the legendary artist Askold Akishin («Master and Margarita», «The Forest»), telling about how destructive passions boil in a pre-revolutionary country, and what the price of friendship with an eccentric and cruel guardian angel is.
