In "Special Assignments", Boris Akunin"s dashing and inimitable hero, Court Counsellor Fandorin, faces two very different adversaries. The first is a wickedly mischievous swindler and master of disguise, whose outrageous con tricks and machinations send ripples through the carefully maintained calm of late nineteenth-century Moscow. The other is a brutal serial killer - nicknamed "The Decorator" - driven by a maniacal obsession, who strikes terror into the heart of the city"s slums. With twists and turns around every corner, and a cast of gloriously eccentric characters, Fandorin"s latest adventures test their gentleman sleuth"s powers of detection to the limit.
