St. Petersberg, Russia. Summer of 1868.
A doctor’s wife and son die a hideous death by poisoning. The doctor is the prime suspect of Investigating Magistrate, Porfiry Petrovich, who discovers that the poison was contained in the chocolates that the doctor brought home for his wife every week.
Very shortly afterwards, a man is stabbed and left to die on the street, and an army colonel is shot to death in his own home. Despite there being at first, no obvious connection beteen the three events, Porfiry is convinced that there is a definite link which connects them all and, with his new assistant, Virginsky, travels all over the city, interviewing anyone who had anything at all to do with any of the victims.
