The Mazaroff murder. Finnish
Mazaroffin murhajuttu
Tapio Riikonen
"Mazaroffin murhajuttu" by J. S. Fletcher is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the enigmatic character Salim Mazaroff and the unfolding mystery surrounding a murder case that has gained notoriety on three continents. The book is narrated through the perspective of Mervyn Holt, who becomes embroiled in Mazaroff's mysterious plans. The opening of the story introduces us to Mervyn Holt, a young man recently returned to England after serving as an army officer in World War I. He is coerced by his old comrade Dick Harker to respond to a peculiar advertisement seeking a companion for the eccentric Mr. Mazaroff, who has recently returned to England after years abroad. Holt, intrigued by the offer, meets Mazaroff—who reveals a desire to revisit old haunts in northern England. As they embark on their journey and stay at a remote inn called Lehtokurpan majatalo, Mazaroff's background begins to reveal itself, hinting at deeper complexities. The narrative builds tension as Holt prepares to uncover truths tied to Mazaroff's identity and possibly the murder mystery that surrounds him. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
