Description

Boris Akunin's well-loved, inimitable hero faces two very different adversaries: one, a deft, comedic swindler and master of disguise, whose machinations send ripples spreading through the carefully maintained calm of Moscow in 1886. The other is a brutal serial killer, driven by an insane, maniacal obsession, who strikes terror into the heart of the Moscow slums in 1889 - and who may have more in common with London's own Jack the Ripper than simply a taste for women of easy virtue.

Critic Reviews

“Immensely readable ... the beguiling, super-brainy, sexy, unpredictable Fandorin is a creation like no other in crime fiction”

"Pure escapist fun that has, in Russia, outsold Harry Potter" London Review of Books
