Akunin goes noir as Fandorin meets bandits!
Boris Akunin is the pseudonym of Grigory Chkhartishvili. He has been compared to Gogol, Tolstoy and Arthur Conan Doyle and his Erast Fandorin books have sold over eighteen million copies in Russia alone. He lives in Moscow.
Boris Akunin shows how it should be done ... an absurdly
imaginative story, surreal and comic ... irresistible
*The Times*
Erast Fandorin is a delightful character like no other in crime
fiction
*The Times*
Akunin is an outstanding novelist ... Gloriously tongue-in-cheek
but seriously edge-of-your-seat at the same time
*Daily Express*
Self-indulgently enjoyable ... [Akunin's] artfully constructed
novel also nods in thr direction of Arthur Conan Doyle
*Financial Times*
A special treat for Akunin's fans
*Literary Review*
He writes a cracking good story, full of vivid and interesting
characters, and the pace never flags for a moment.
*GUARDIAN*
Speedy is a marvellous creation, and Fandorin suitably opaque; the
gangsters are variously grim and the aptly named femme fatale is a
tidy piece of work.
*FINANCIAL TIMES*
A brilliant and witty discovery!
*TELEGRAPH & ARGUS*
