A treat for those who enjoyed The Winter Queen (bwl 25). This time the handsome, young Russian sleuth is travelling on the world's newest and largest steamship, posing as a diplomat. Shades of Agatha Christie, the suspects of a multiple murder in Paris are contained within the elite area of the great ship together with the hapless French investigator, Commissioner Gauche. Lots of false leads and more casualties keep you guessing until Fedorin explains.
