Description
The final volume of Boris Akunin’s grand project “A History of the Russian State”!
“Just at that moment, with a thunderous crash, the door burst open. Now fate will sweep me up and carry me away on its roaring waves, not letting me come to my senses…” No wonder criminologist Vasily Gusev tried to hand off the case of the “tobacco-and-match queen” to the head of a private detective agency. At first glance, the investigation seems to concern only one family, but very soon it will rise to an entirely different level—and will involve those whose fate depends on the Empire…
Either Boris Akunin got tired of the project “A History of the Russian State,” or inspiration to write about Russia and its history ran out altogether, or it’s the aftermath of the COVID infection—whatever the reason, the “point” in the story of an ancient kind with characteristic spots on the forehead fell onto the page as an shapeless blot.
