Boris Akunin: The Turkish Gambit. Book 2

BA Books is pleased to present a new edition of the novel "The Turkish Gambit" with an exclusive addition — a "Decoding" chapter that will reveal the secrets behind the creation of this work!
In this new chapter, Boris Akunin shares who inspired him to write the novel, how the characters' personalities were formed and key plotlines developed, and which historical events served as the basis for the story.
The year is 1877. The Russian Empire is involved in a brutal Russo-Turkish war. Varvara Suvorova, a young St. Petersburg beauty with progressive views and nearly a nihilist, sets off for the war zone to join her fiancé. The journey began as a fun adventure, but then Varvara suddenly finds herself alone in a dubious roadside inn, where fellow travelers even gamble for her in a card game.
Read about the adventures of Varvara Suvorova in the Balkans, as she finds herself at the heart of intriguing events and, together with secret agent of the Russian Empire Erast Fandorin, uncovers an extensive espionage conspiracy, in the novel "The Turkish Gambit".
