The book includes three detective stories by Boris Akunin.
«Planet Water» Aruba Island. 1903 year.
Erast Petrovich Fandorin is busy with something not quite familiar to himself. Namely — searching for treasures from a sunken ship. With the help of his submarine «Lemon-2» he explores the depths of the sea, enjoying peace and quiet. The unexpected appearance of the Scotland Yard inspector breaks this idyll. In England, three teenage girls were killed six months apart. The circumstances of their death are identical. Three bloodless bodies were found in the bathroom of a hotel room, the water from the bathroom was carefully drained, the bodies were covered with white lilies. All London police are thrown in search of the «Lily Maniac», but it looks like they cannot do without the help of Erast Petrovich …
«Lonely Sail» Paris. 1906 year.
In the remote Ural province, right in the monastery, the abbess was brutally murdered. Erast Petrovich Fandorin will have to find out what it is: ritual fanaticism, an attack on Orthodoxy, the desire of anarchists to bring confusion into the life of a quiet Trans-Volga region or an ordinary robbery. After all, Mother Fevronya, who was killed in the wilderness, is his old acquaintance, who once upon a time, before her departure to the monastery, lived with him under the same roof, and then disappeared for many years, and now appeared again, on a gray newspaper sheet, in mourning frame.
“Where Should We Go” Kielce. 1912 year.
A daring attack was carried out on the mail carriage of the Warsaw Trade Bank. The criminals not only stole a huge sum of two hundred thousand rubles, but also staged a real massacre. Six gendarmes, a senior conductor and a bank employee accompanying the carriage were killed. Apparently, hardened criminals were operating. By an amazing coincidence, Erast Petrovich Fandorin follows with his wife on a passing train and finds himself at the crime scene almost simultaneously with the gendarmes. The head of the railway-gendarme department begs Erast Petrovich to help him in the investigation. Apparently, Fandorin simply has no choice.
