Fandorin against the Ninjas 1905: Russia has just suffered a decisive defeat in the war against Japan when a bridge on the Moscow-Petersburg route is blown up. Fandorin, the chief engineer at the Ministry of Transport and responsible for safety on the railway lines, immediately suspects a bombing. However, the hot lead misleads him. Who is really behind this act of sabotage? And will he manage to carry out an attack on the Trans-Siberian Railway, thereby crippling the supply for Russian troops in Manchuria for weeks? Fandorin and his team are on high alert and devise the most original methods to prevent this. But the invisible enemy is also extremely cunning and confronts Fandorin in a mysterious way with his time in 1878 as vice-consul in Japan. Boris Akunin.
