Ghost from Valovaya - Kokotyukha A. (9789660371668)

Beginning of the twentieth century, 1909. A successful Kiev lawyer, Klim Koshevoy, escapes from persecution by the Tsar's guards to Lvov, where he becomes only a humble assistant to an old notary. His boring, impoverished everyday life is interrupted by a visit from the criminal police commissioner: Klim’s business card was found in the pocket of a corpse found in a house on Valovaya Street. The man himself died under rather strange circumstances, although officially it was an accident. But that house has a bad reputation in Lviv. They say that the ghost of the Black Lady has been wandering in it for a hundred years. Anyone who meets her will die. And such a death on Valovaya is not the first. In pursuit of the ghost, Koshevoy and his devoted friend Josef Shatsky are forced to plunge into the Lviv slums and descend to the bottom of the city. Risking their lives, they finally learn the truth about the ghost. And the mysterious and influential beauty Magda Bogdanovich will not like her very much...
