Order of Erast Fandorin Books
Erast Fandorin is the protagonist in a series of historical mystery novels by Russian novelist Boris Akunin. Erast Fandorin exists in 19th century Russia, where he has joined the police force at a young age and became a detective extraordinaire. He is a master of disguise, able to infiltrate hideouts of his enemies. When he is in disguise, he takes on the personality of that disguise, leading to a flawless “performance.” The series has been adapted to film (in Russian) and stage, while Paul Verhoeven owns the English-language rights to the first novel of the series. In Russia, the popularity of the series can be compared to Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.
Boris Akunin’s Erast Fandorin character made his debut in Russian in the novel that would later become The Winter Queen when it was published in English in 2003. The series is currently ongoing.
