In Moscow in 1876, the apparent suicide of an aristocratic student leads Erast Fandorin, a young and shrewd detective, to investigate a chain of inexplicable deaths. The victims have bequeathed their fortunes to an English orphanage; the trail of the mysterious «A. B.» takes him across Europe to the heart of an international conspiracy.
