Fatal Gift
A fresh, dynamic novel by the acclaimed star of Russian detective fiction, Tatyana Ustinova, “Fatal Gift” is written in her recognizable style: a fast-moving intrigue, subtle, intelligent humor, precise everyday details, and characters that are easy to remember. As tradition has it, there are plenty of family secrets and hidden motives here—and alongside danger and mysteries, a touching love story unfolds.

Famous writer Marina Pokrovskaya, also known as Manya Polivanova, is going through a difficult period: Alex Shang-Girey—the love of her life—behaves in a way that makes no sense, and even work is falling apart in her hands. To pull herself together, Manya goes to Belovodsk—and suddenly becomes a witness to a murder. In front of her eyes, a local businessman is shot: wealthy, sharp, energetic, exemplary family man—one could say, the “perfect man.”

Manya starts investigating and quickly realizes that Maxim’s (the dead man’s) biography is far from flawless… And the writer herself will regret more than once that she got drawn into a case with too much risk and too few unambiguous answers…

The Labyrinth of Vanzarov
The end of 1898. Petersburg is gripped by alarm: the “machine of fear” has been destroyed, and now a new device is needed—something capable of going beyond the limits of conventional science. The stakes are high: the throne has no heir, and it’s not impossible that the mysterious invention will be needed by the court itself. A hunt begins for the “machine of truth,” and in this race the inventor’s wife dies… Only Rodion Vanzarov, the best of detectives, is able to unravel this intricate tangle—but will he be able, this time, to resist the influence of secret forces and foil the plan of dangerous criminals?

Anton Chizh is one of the most widely read Russian authors of the detective genre; his books have sold over a million copies. Based on his high-stakes novels, the TV series “Agatha and the Investigation. The Queen of Diamonds” and “Agatha and the Investigation. Roulette of Fate” have been made. In more than twenty books, he created beloved historical-detective heroes—Rodion Vanzarov and Apollon Lebedev, Alexey Pushkin and Agatha Kern. Breakneck action, unpredictable twists, and the atmosphere of 19th-century Russia keep the tension up to the very end—and alongside an engaging plot, readers find themes in these stories that resonate with today.

The Fateful Will
Twenty years after Alexander Gordeev’s death, his former wife files a lawsuit claiming rights to the house: according to her, the property was allegedly left to her by a will. Alexander’s lawyer, Yevgenia Volina, goes to speak with the plaintiff—and finds her dead. Next to the body is a gold charm coin that Alexander has always carried with him. Does that mean her client is a murderer? And what should be done if the suspect is also unbelievably charming and grows more and more appealing to Yevgenia…

Lyudmila Martova is a recognized master of detective melodrama, author of high-tension stories where the intrigue is wound to the limit, the finale hits with an unexpected twist, and the romantic line remains one of the main driving forces of the narrative. The heroines of her novels are modern young women who clearly understand what they want and what they are ready to fight for.
