	The Death of Achilles: An Erast Fandorin Mystery -- book review
		Fandorin is constructed to appear swashbuckling, yes, and heroic, but every once in a while a note of ironic humor creeps into the narrative that keeps him human and the reader sympathetic.
		The “Achilles” of the title is the name given by the adoring public to General Michel Sobolev, a military hero whose sudden death in the arms of Wanda throws the police and the government into a state of chaos.
		Fandorin has returned to Moscow after a long absence on the very morning that the general’s aides are frantically trying to cover up the details of the general’s apparently unseemly demise, the natural causes of which Fandorin immediately doubts.

		Orphaned at nineteen when his father, a bankrupt nobleman, died, Fandorin is a descendant of German knights, crusaders, and soldiers of fortune, one of whom, by the name of Von Dorn, came to Russia in the seventeenth century and became the captain of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich's palace guards.
		Fandorin values the nobility and dignity of daily existence far above distant goals and grandiose feats, hence his fascination with the Path, a teaching of the ancient Chinese philosophy.
		Fandorin's ideals are precisely what is required in Putin's Russia, where personal efforts (the "small deeds" of Chekhov's time) by millions are far more important than the feats of a few: work hard, be honest, do not take bribes, pay taxes, be creative, take risks, abide by laws and force others to do so.

		(It is a murder mystery, after all.) There's humor, too: Erast is saved from a murderer's knife by the stays in the "Lord Byron corset" the vain young detective wears to make his waist appear smaller and his shoulders broader.

		His mysteries, featuring the indomitable detective, Erast Fandorin, are the most widely read novels in Russia.
		Fandorin is a wonderfully engaging detective, sort of a merging of Columbo and Miss Marple - a bit bumbling, often seen as ineffectual due to his appearance and attitude, but always on his toes.
		A murder mystery, ala Agatha Christie, in which two detectives, the French Gustav Gauche and the Russian Erast Fandorin, must discern which of the 142 first class passengers on the Leviathan is a diabolical killer.

		A clear-cut case of suicide on first sight, but the young and ambitious Erast Fandorin, since three weeks the aid of detective Xavier Grushin, finds evidence that this may not be just a simple suicide.
		This theory does require quite some travelling, so we find Erast Fandorin back in London where he discovers that the deaths all seem to fit in some larger plan, something that comprises people with establised positions from around the globe.
		So Erast Fandorin has to travel back to Russia with unanswered questions and unasked answers, only partly wiser than he was before his trip, but a lot more suspicious.
