«ОДНА ЦИФРА УБИЛА» | Советский детектив. Киев, 1972

Kyiv, November 1972. Pyotr Savvich Glebov was found dead in his room. A nearly full glass of water, a medicine bottle, and a standard paper instruction sheet for a medication remained on the nightstand. At first, everything seemed like a tragic accident: a bad heart, insomnia, and an overdose of sleeping pills. But the expert's report turns the elderly man's quiet death into a near-impossible occurrence. The doctor was confident in his prescription, the pharmacist followed the instructions precisely, and the seals and signatures appeared genuine. Who turned a simple medication into a death sentence? Why did the meticulous old man follow such a dangerous instruction without hesitation? What was behind his sudden drowsiness and memory lapses? Why did suspicion fall on several people at once? And what inconspicuous detail will Major Denisenko discover on an ordinary pharmacy form? Sometimes the most dangerous lies look like a single, inconspicuous line on paper. Enjoy! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND SOURCES The story is fictional, but materials about the Soviet pharmacy industry, the Soviet police, forensics, document research, and the work of medical institutions of the era were used to create the atmosphere.
