BORIS AKUNIN is the pseudonym of Grigory Chkhartishvili. He has been compared to Gogol, Tolstoy and Arthur Conan Doyle, and his Erast Fandorin books have sold over eighteen million copies in Russia alone. He lives in London.
As always, Akunin manages to pull off a witty pastiche that is as involving and engaging as any straight crime novel. * S Magazine, Sunday Express *
