Тигровый, черный, золотой Михалкова Е.И.

The new case of Makar Ilyushin and Sergei Babkin began with a lie. Private detectives specializing in searching for missing people undertake to find paintings that have disappeared from the museum. The world of artists is full of unsightly secrets, intrigues and undercurrents, it is easy to get lost in it, but it is difficult to find a way out.
How to figure out who is talented and who is mediocre? Whose works are expensive, and whose - will not pay for the paints spent? How are the theft of paintings and brutal murder related? About this - in Elena Mikhalkova's detective story "Brindle, black, gold".
Can anyone offend an artist? Try it. If you're not afraid.
This time Ilyushin and Babkin are engaged in an atypical case for them: they are investigating the theft of paintings stolen from the museum. The masterpieces were to be exhibited in the best gallery in Amsterdam, and at the same time they were taken away at night in an unknown direction. The artist's assistant turns to Ilyushin and Babkin for help, but does not tell the whole truth. Despite this, the detectives take up the investigation.
The backstage of the art world turns out to be not the Olympus of secular connoisseurs, but a hotbed of conspirators. Finding an honest and respectable soul in their circle is not an easy task. But Ilyushin and Babkin have nowhere to go - a murder was revealed behind the theft of paintings. And who knows how many more skeletons the picture hunters will have in their closets.
