MUR operative Nikolai Belsky is at the center of the turbulent events of the seventeenth century. By secret order of Tsar Peter Alekseevich, the former detective and his friends arrive in France to the court of Louis XIV. Nikolai elegantly weaves intrigues to gain “access to the body” of the “Sun King”. But Paris is just an intermediate stage of an operation to penetrate into the very heart of the hostile Ottoman Empire. Another war and a new division of Europe are coming, and Belsky needs his country to become the winner in this bloody massacre, reach the sea and consolidate its status as a Great Power. No one and nothing can stop the best intelligence officer Peter the Great on the way to this goal!
