Nils Hagen cannot be considered one of those authors who pamper their readers with a new book every month. This novel is all the more valuable for fans of the work of the Dane, who fell in love with Russia. Three years have passed since “The Viking Hunt.” Nils Hagen got married, returned to Moscow, became largely Russified and managed to become a full-fledged participant in several adventurous semi-criminal stories. These stories formed the basis of the book you are holding in your hands.
