Late 1960s. Anton Kosmich, a candidate of historical sciences, lived in Minsk, worked on his doctorate and wrote historical and documentary detective stories in his spare time.
Anton Kosmich is a historian, 38 years old, 191 cm tall, light brown haired with rough features, a bachelor, enjoys swimming and fencing, smart, inquisitive, principled, loves his native Belarus. One day, an ancient tome fell into the hands of his best friend.
A friend believed that it contained an encrypted location where the treasury of the princely Olshansky family was hidden.
Unknown people forced a friend to sell the tome to them.Advertisement Soon the friend died. Anton was sure that he was murdered.
He studied the tome for several days, finally came across the cipher and deciphered it.
Everything pointed to the treasures being hidden in the old Olshansky family castle. Anton went to the town of Olshany and learned that in addition to the treasures, the German occupiers' archive was hidden in the castle's vicinity. He conducted a large-scale investigation, during which he was repeatedly tried to be killed, and fell in love with a female archaeologist who was conducting excavations near the castle.
The criminals turned out to be two traitors-collaborators who settled in Olshany after the war and hid. They were afraid that Anton would find a German archive with evidence of their betrayal. Friends from the police helped Anton neutralize them. Then Anton figured out that they were controlled by the last descendant of the Olshansky princes, who wanted to find the legacy of his ancestors.
He was arrested and poisoned himself in prison.
