Fandorin returns in a swashbuckling tale of abduction and intrigue,
set during the build-up to the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II.
Grand Duke Georgii Alexandrovich arrives in Moscow for the
coronation, with three of his children. During an afternoon stroll,
daughter Xenia is dragged away by bandits, only to be rescued by an
elegant gentleman and his oriental sidekick. The passing heroes
introduce themselves as Fandorin and Masa, but panic ensues when
they realise that four-year old Mikhail has been snatched in the
confusion. A ransom letter arrives from an international criminal
demanding the handover of the Count Orlov, an enormous diamond on
the royal sceptre which is due to play a part in the coronation.
Can the gentleman detective find Mikhail in time?
