Can Fandorin infiltrate a secret society to save Moscow's youth? A
dark and decadent detective story from the master of Russian crime
fiction. There's been rising concern in Moscow over a wave of
suicides among the city's young bohemians. An intrepid newspaper
reporter, Zhemailo, begins to uncover the truth behind the
phenomenon - that the victims are linked by a secret society, the
Lovers of Death. But Zhemailo is not the only investigator hot on
the heels of these disciples of the occult. Little do they realise
that the latest 'convert' to their secret society, assuming the
alias of a Japanese prince, is none other than Erast Fandorin. But
when a young and naive provincial woman, Masha Mironova, becomes
embroiled in the society, and Zhemalio dies a mysterious death,
Fandorin must do more than merely infiltrate and observe.
Especially when the spin of the Russian roulette wheel decrees that
our dashing hero be the next to die by his own hand. Can Fandorin
fake his own demise, all while outwitting the cult's dastardly
leader?
