Moscow 1876. A young law student commits suicide in broad daylight in Moscow's Alexander Gardens. But this is no ordinary death, for the young man was the son of an influential industrialist, and has left a considerable fortune.

 

Erast Fandorin, a hotheaded new recruit to the Criminal Investigation Department, is assigned to the case. Brilliant, young and sophisticated, Fandorin embarks on an investigation that will take him from the palatial mansions of Moscow to the seedy backstreets of London in his hunt for the conspirators behind this mysterious death.

Listen to an exclusive interview in which Paul Blezard talks to the author about the nature of the detective story, the genesis of Erast Fandorin, and- as a translator from Japanese to Russian himself how he feels about having his own work translated. 

Think Tolstoy writing James Bond with the logical rigour of Sherlock Holmes. A hoot. ' — Guardian

McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.

Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere.
