Escrito por Boris Akunin, "Special Assignments" es el quinto volumen de la serie protagonizada por Erast Fandorin, el mejor detective de la Rusia prerrevolucinaria. Ésta es su sinopsis:
"In Special Assignments, Erast Fandorin, nineteenth-century Russia’s suavest sleuth, faces two formidable new foes: One steals outrageous sums of money, the other takes lives.
“The Jack of Spades” is a civilized swindler who has conned thousands of rubles from Moscow’s residents–including Fandorin’s own boss, Prince Dolgorukoi.
To catch him, Fandorin and his new assistant, timid young policeman Anisii Tulipov, must don almost as many disguises as the grifter does himself.
“The Decorator” is a different case altogether: A savage serial killer who believes he “cleans” the women he mutilates and takes his orders from on high, he must be given Fandorin’s most serious attentions".
Publicado, en enero de 2008, por W&N, "Special Assignments", que permanece inédito en España, tiene 336 páginas y puede ser adquirido por un precio de 08,99 libras esterlinas.
