Samenvatting

The second in the delightfully witty and diverting new crime series set in Tsarist Russia from the award-winning Michael Pearce.

A dreamy province of Tsarist Russia. An ambitious young lawyer of Scottish-Russian descent anxious to make his way. And the One-Legged Lady goes missing. A nasty case of kidnapping? Not quite, for the One-Legged Lady is just the popular name of one of the most important icons in the district. Exactly how important, the sceptical Dmitri, whose task it is to track her down, comes to see.

Who has taken her and for what reason? Is it someone interested in adding to his art collection? Is it, as some darkly suggest, just the monastery cashing in on its assets? Or has it something to do with a wave of popular feeling at a time of famine? The sinister Volkov, from the Tsar's Corps of Gendarmes, suspects the latter – which means trouble for some innocent people unless Dmitri gets there first!

Dmitri finds, to his surprise, that the icon, which he had taken merely as an irrelevant relic from the past, raises some awkward issues about the present and that the One-Legged Lady is very much alive and kicking.

“Ingeniously imagined and zestfully written”
LITERARY REVIEW

“A wily protagonist and racing narrative combine for perfect entertainment”

Who has taken her and for why? The sinister Volkov, from the Tsar’s Corps of Gendarmes, suspects the theft has something to do with a wave of popular feeling at a time of famine – which means trouble for some innocent people, unless Dmitri gets there first…

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
