The year is 1914 and the famous detective Erast Fandorin is in hot pursuit of a daring terrorist, following him all the way to the city of Baku, located on the Caspian Sea. The plot unfolds against the backdrop of both Russia’s fabulously rich oil industry and the movie set where Fandorin’s wife is shooting a silent movie.
With the greatest European war in history close to breaking out, Fandorin must face his enemy, a prominent leader of the revolutionary movement financing the secretive Party, and stop the march of war before it is too late.
