“The Double of the Chinese Emperor” is an action-packed socio-political novel with detective intrigue, written on a wealth of factual material. Former acting Prosecutor General of Russia Oleg Gaidanov, in his recently published memoir “In Kerensky’s position, in Stalin’s office,” said about Mir-Khaidarov and his novels: “...I have never read anything like this and have not met a writer more knowledgeable in the work of law enforcement agencies, state apparatus, intelligence services, prosecutor's office, court and... the criminal world, than the author of the novels of the tetralogy "Black Nobility". For the first time in our history, they provide an analysis of the shadow economy, show for the first time corruption in the upper echelons of power, and the merging of crime with all branches of government...” It is not for nothing that the American newspaper The Philadelphia Inquirer called Raul Mir-Khaidarov a “mafia researcher,” and experts from the intelligence services call him the largest analyst who looked decades ahead, foresaw the Islamic factor and terrorism of the 21st century.
