Two new adventures for Boris Akunin�s well-loved, inimitable hero in which Erast Fandorin 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 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. Peopled by a cast of eccentric characters and with plots that are as surprising as they are inventive.
Fandorin�s 'Special Assignments' will delight Akunin�s many thousands of fans while testing their gentleman sleuth�s powers of detection to the limit.
