Boris Akunin shows how it should be done ... an absurdly
imaginative story, surreal and comic ... irresistible
*The Times*
Fandorin is an impossibly heroic figure ... irresistible
*The Times*
The beguiling, super-brainy, sexy, unpredictable Fandorin is a
creation like no other in crime fiction
*The Times*
Extraordinarily readable, full of incident and excitement,
swift-moving and told with a sparkling light-heartedness which is
impossible to resist
*Evening Standard*
Akunin's novels are a fasciating mixture of pathos and pastiche;
his characters are larger than life but never absurd...as ingenious
as the earlier Fandorin novels and full of clever and unexpected
twists.
*SUNDAY TIMES*
An unpredictable, swift-moving and imaginative piece of crime
fiction.
