With our volume, Hungarian readers can get their hands on three more adventures of Eraszt Fandorin. Naturally, the legendary private investigator faces extremely difficult challenges in all of them. To overcome the obstacles, you need all your knowledge and skills: your proficiency in Eastern martial arts and wisdom, your outstanding strength and your sharp mind. In critical situations, his moral pretensions, generosity and delicate taste play a big role this time as well. So, it has everything with which Boris Akunin (i.e. Grigory Chartishvili), who became a star author, made his popular hero such an attractive and colorful figure in the earlier novels of the Fandorin series. The crime dramas, which abound in captivating thrills and enigmatic episodes, do not lack the usual light humor. The depressing effect of the cruelties is mitigated by the resigned serenity of the writer's outlook on life.
