In Search of the Murderer

St. Petersburg, 1910s. The city is shaken by a brutal murder: the widow of merchant Korovin is found dismembered. Body parts are discovered separately, and the head of the victim arrives in a parcel. Despite the efforts of the detective police, the investigation reaches a dead end.

The only hope is the legendary detective Patmosov, who begins his own investigation.
