Description

The latest book in the internationally bestselling Erast Fandorin Mysteries series

'Readers can expect prime Akunin - ingenious, twisty, exotic' Daily Mail


Crimea, 1914.

When the Tzar's head of security is assassinated, Fandorin is called to investigate: the killer has been overheard mentioning a 'black city' so Fandorin and his trusty companion, Masa, head to Baku, the burgeoning capital of oil.

But as soon as they arrive, they are attacked and Fandorin almost drowns in an oil well. Saved by a stranger who hides him in the labyrinth of Baku's Old City, Fandorin begins to suspect the plot might be part of something larger - and much more dangerous.

With war brewing in the Balkans, and Europe's empires struggling to contain the threat of revolution, Fandorin must try and solve his difficult case yet before time runs out.

An explosive, edge-of-your-seat finale, filled with intrigue, wit and Boris Akunin's unforgettable characters.
