Description for Special Assignments: Erast Fandorin 5
Paperback. The daring Russian sleuth Erast Fandorin takes on two cunning adversaries. From the bestselling author of THE WINTER QUEEN. Translator(s): Bromfield, Andrew. Num Pages: 336 pages. BIC Classification: FF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 194 x 141 x 21. Weight in Grams: 238.
Boris Akunin's well-loved, inimitable hero 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 is 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.
