Akunin goes noir as Fandorin meets bandits! Senka Skorikov, orphan
and urchin, has been abandoned to the murky world of Moscow's
gangster district. While picking a pocket or two, he glimpses the
most beautiful woman he has ever seen, and joins the gang of her
overlord lover, The Prince, so desperate he is to meet her. Senka
climbs the criminal ranks, uncovering a stash of precious metal,
and gradually capturing the heart of his beloved Death - so named
for the life expectancy of her lovers. But as the bandit community
balks at his success on both fronts, threats on his life begin to
pour in . A dandy and his 'Chinese' sidekick seem to be taking an
inordinate interest in Senka's welfare, and it becomes clear that
those threatening Senka are linked to a spate of murders, grizzly
even by underworld standards. Fandorin must unweave a tangled web
of narcotics, false identities and organised crime - but can he
survive an encounter with the ever-alluring Death unscathed? Find
out in the darkest Fandorin to date!
