And how to hamper this monstrous design? Major Joseph von Theofels is not destined to have a thorough rest after a severe abdominal wound. A representative of the German General Staff delivers a secret assignment to him, right into his bed. The Staff has special designs on this man and no one is going to ask Theofels for his opinion. The famous and elusive German resident agent, despite all countermeasures of Russian graymen, fulfils his task. The German General Staff buries a mine having tremendous destructive force under the very existence of the Russian Empire.
It so happened then in history, that when men couldn't and didn't want to defend their own country with deadly force, this matter had to be tackled by women. It charges to win and to make the other units join the attack The epilogue is worth particular attention - there, a special surprise awaits the reader, the final of some very long-running story.
The fifth grader not only had the luck to make a head-spinning journey through a chronohole to the remote past. He also manages to rectify all the mistakes made by founder of their family Theo von Dorn during Crusades An agent of Abwehr codenamed Wasser is infiltrated to Moscow. Woefully, this agent succeeds in almost everything. The Soviet intelligence tries, by all means, to smell out and arrest the spy, but will they manage to do that?.. The state is fragmented and weak. For Ingvar, power is a heavy burden, and duty to the subjects of his poor principality requires working hard, not knowing rest.
People are already beginning to make ends meet, and the fragile peace with dangerous neighbors-the Polovtsians is holding, and the ruler finally dares to believe in fast happiness. But what will happen if a person, on whose shoulder Igvar has the right to count, will not be able to pass the temptation by the authorities? The first novel from the series of adventures of Erast Petrovich Fandorin. Here a reader is to meet the future great sleuth. The old, still patriarchal Moscow of Young Fandorin is just a correspondence clerk at a detective police department.
Entirely by accident, he gets involved into the case for a suicide of a university student. The officials and officers of the police are ready to place the case in the archives, and even several following, very alike, deaths are not a phase to them. But Erast Fandorin notices some discordances in the witness testimony and continues weaseling. The traces and evidence lead him to a real, criminal and mysterious sect, whose plans and goals merely terrify The search for the impudent criminal with the nickname Momus is tackled by the detective Erast Petrovich Fandorin himself.
Moscow is filled with horror. A mysterious murderer, a real maniac, with inhuman cruelty, which astonishes even case-hardened policemen, kills prostitutes. While doing so, he creates merely incredible compositions from the bodies and their internal parts, as though preparing for some devilish performance.
Only Erast Petrovich Fandorin is up to the job of finding and catching such a criminal. Given that he has only recently returned from England, where everybody has just begun to come round after the frenzied actions of Jack the Ripper. Everybody in Moscow is frightened by the relentless terror, which has been declared to the authorities by radical revolutionaries. A secret militant organization is acting. Things have come to such a pitch that general Khrapov himself, who was sent to Moscow to regain some order, is murdered.
What is more, Erast Petrovich Fandorin himself is arrested on suspicion of murder. But after the first face-to-face interrogation the famous sleuth is cleared of suspicion, and nothing already interferes with his investigation. But why ever are the terrorists-revolutionaries always one step ahead of all investigation measures?
Does someone from the highest quarters really help them? This time it is strenuously preparing for the coronation of the heir to the Russian throne, the future emperor Nikolai Aleksandrovich. But an enormous ordeal comes in on the royal family: In return of the boy's life, the villain demands the well-known relic of the House of Romanovs - the diamond Orlov, being a part of the emperor's scepter.
Without the scepter, proper coronation is impossible, but the boy's life is also a great value for all the Romanovs. Erast Petrovich Fandorin has already been pursuing doctor Lind for a long time, and his help can be inestimable here.

But is that Lind who is behind all of this? And it's not some lame joke of decadent esthetes. In practice, it is a real conveyor of death - bodies of self-murderers are found in Moscow more and more often. In their suicide notes almost all of them declare their somewhat incredible and weird love for death. Police would eagerly arrest the culprits. But whom to arrest? So, Erast Petrovich Fandorin has to take up the matter. For sure, he will clear up, what is behind all this: It is an interesting occurrence in literature, when Erast Petrovich Fandorin has to enquire into two matters simultaneously.
The homeless teenager Senka, living, in the truest sense of the word, in the catacombs of a market in Khitrovka, unwittingly becomes the only owner of a countless treasure - an antique silver trove. But too many people, indeed, would also like to own it. And here appears, by hard adventure, a beautiful girl nicknamed Death, who believes that she destroys everyone. Who falls in love with her. Senka would not have been above ground long ago, without this casual encounter with Erast Petrovich Fandorin The Russo-Japanese war is in progress. The only more or less normal connection of Russian military units at the theatre of operations in Manchuria to the rest of Russia is railway.
The search for him and his capture have to be tackled by Erast Petrovich Fandorin himself - a great detective and a big expert in Oriental studies. But the investigation also keeps a personal secret for Erast Petrovich. He is to face an incredible revelation concerning his own past and the past of his family. Erast Petrovich Fandorin comes to Japan, to Yokohama. And almost immediately the young diplomat gets involved into the thick of things, mysterious and obscure.
Having promised the daughter of a small schooner's captain to find the murderers of her father by all means, he becomes a happenstance witness, and sometimes also a participant of lots of the most inconceivable events and political conspiracies. Besides, the local authority, in whose sight the diplomat should look scrupulously clean, is mixed up here as well. Bandits and killers from the harbour dens are mixed up in those things, too.
And even the mysterious clan of ninja-shinobi is. And what is more, Erast Fandorin, thanks to his gift of luck in gambling, rescues the robber Masakhiro from death, the latter soon to become Fandorin's loyal friend and help-mate for the entire life. But the main thing is that Fandorin is destined to find here his last love - the Japanese Midori. The scene of the novel is laid in - just before the First World War. Erast Petrovich Fandorin is quietly taking a rest in a hotel suite in Yalta. Suddenly, the local town governor, general Dumbadze, simply rushes in with terrible news - witnesses saw an armed insurgent with a sniper rifle make his way to the garden of the tsar's Livadia Palace.
The tsar's family is in deadly danger. Owing to the great sleuth's effort, the terrorist is caught. But the conspiracy turns out to be much more dangerous and widespread. But the way is highly dangerous - the mysterious opponent is one step, or even two steps ahead of the detective. Will Fandorin manage to survive all these woes?.. The latest book, for now, about adventures of the famous detective Erast Petrovich Fandorin.
Ebook and Manual Reference
It consists of three, chronologically scattered, independent novellas. By a twist of fate, Fandorin finds himself, almost simultaneously with the gendarmes, on the scene of a bloody robbery of a mail coach. It is a rather rare genre - the play about the adventures of Erast Petrovich Fandorin.
The famous sleuth is invited to an estate located near Moscow, where the will of a millionaire and collector of rare antiquities Boretskiy is to be read. After the unsealing of the will it turns out that the estate itself and all the funds of the deceased one are passing to his niece Inga, and the weird black-and-white fan with hieroglyphic inscriptions goes to his nephew Jan. Who of the heritors is deprived, and what secret does this fan hide? What's interesting is that the play is written in two variants - black and white - why ever did the author need it?..
Her love life is as colourful as the parts she plays. She is the estranged wife of a descendant of Genghis Khan. And her ex-husband has threatened to kill anyone who courts her.

A blizzard rages outside as a mustachioed official climbs aboard just outside the city; with his trademark stutter, he introduces himself as State Counsellor Erast Fandorin.

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.

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.

Ebook and Manual Reference
Pelagia's journey is peppered with tales of miracles and roosters, and caves that act as portals to other worlds. But an assassin is closing in, pursuing the sister to the land of the Gospels where her criminal enquiry becomes a spiritual enquiry as she sets down her knitting needles to question the very foundations of her faith General Khrapov, newly appointed Governor-General of Siberia and soon-to-be Minister of the Interior, is murdered in his official saloon carriage on his way from St Petersburg to Moscow.
The killer, disguised as Fandorin, leaves a knife thrust up to the hilt in his victim's chest and escapes through the window of the carriage. Can Fandorin escape suspicion? A battle of wills and ideals, revolutionaries and traditionalists and good versus evil. Sister Pelagia, bespectacled, freckled, woefully clumsy and possessed of a not very nunnish aptitude for solving crimes, returns in a tale of monastic intrigue, murder and adventure. Just as the dust from the case of the White Bulldog begins to settle in the small Russian town of Zavolzhsk, its sleepy rural existence is shaken up once again by the arrival of a desperately frightened monk who seeks the help of the bishop, Mitrofanii.
The monks have been troubled by visions of a dark, hooded figure that appears to walk on the waters of the vast Blue Lake surrounding their monastery. Sceptical of ghost stories, Mitrofanii sends first his clever young ward, then two of his most trusted advisors, to investigate the mystery. All meet with unexpected fates. Finally Sister Pelagia takes matters into her own hands and, adopting a number of ingenious disguises, she ventures across the Blue Lake in search of answers.
As she delves deeper into the layers of secrecy that cloak the islanders, and as the body count continues to rise, Pelagia begins to realise that an encounter with a ghost may be the least of her problems Eccentric antiquarian Lord Littleby and his ten servants are found murdered in Littlebys mansion on the rue de Grenelle, and a priceless Indian shawl is missing.
