The memoirs of Ivan Putilin, the first chief of the St. Petersburg detective police, who dedicated nearly 40 years to the service and solved thousands of crimes.

"Forty Years Among Murderers and Robbers" is a collection of true crime stories from the 19th century. Putilin describes how he employed the latest detective techniques in his investigations: eavesdropping on conversations in taverns, working undercover in criminals' lairs, and using psychological pressure during interrogations. These are authentic chronicles of the 19th-century St. Petersburg criminal underworld and a portrait of a detective who became a legend.
