Description
Erast Fandorin returns to Moscow after a six-year absence, only to find himself entangled in court politics and scandal. His old friend General Sobolev, known as the 'Russian Achilles', has been found dead in a hotel room, and Fandorin suspects foul play. As he delves into the investigation, Fandorin's powers of detection come to the fore, despite his relatively young age. With the assistance of his martial arts skills acquired during a stay in Japan, Fandorin must navigate the complex web of politics and personal relationships to uncover the truth behind Sobolev's death. Fandorin's inquiry raises more questions than answers, as he seeks to understand not only who was responsible for the general's demise but also why.
