Synopsis
On 15th March 1878 Lord Littleby, an English eccentric and collector, is found murdered in his Paris house together with nine members of his staff. A gold whale in the victim's hand leads Erast Fandorin to board the Leviathan, the world's largest steamship, as the murderer is one of the 142 First Class passengers.
Commissioner Gauche of the French police has narrowed down the suspects to ten, and they are forced to eat together at every meal time in the ship's Windsor Suite until 'the Crime of the Century' is solved. But is the murderer really seated around the table, and can Erast Fandorin discover his or her identity before Gauche? As more passengers are murdered and Leviathan heads towards Calcutta, Fandorin needs all his investigative skills to find the truth.
Boris Akunin's latest page-turner again transports the reader back to the late nineteenth century. In LEVIATHAN he pays homage to Agatha Christie with a cast of characters and a plot which grips you from the first page.

Review
Pastiche of the highest order, absurd and completely gripping at the same time (Sunday Times)
Witty, thrilling and wholly unputdownable (Evening Standard)
Akunin is an outstanding novelist ... gloriously tongue-in-cheek but seriously edge-of-your-seat at the same time (Daily Express)
Clever and fun (The Times)
Totally absorbing. (HOT STARS (OK MAGAZINE) - 27 March - 2 April)
[Akunin's} skill is such that he has fashioned a gripping page-turner from the improbabilities and extravagances of his plot. LEVIATHAN look set to create yet more fans for this most adaptable of heroes. (WATERSTONE'S BOOKS QUARTERLY)
This is a book you want to gallop through, pitting your wits against the author, desperate to find out who did it. At the same time, the accomplished writing (translated by Andrew Bromfield) is well worth lingering over. (DAILY MAIL (2.4.04))
Ingenious, diverting, sometimes brilliant take on an Agatha Christie-style whodunit...Escapist, exciting and altogether innocent. A lively, refreshing read. (Philip Oakes LITERARY REVIEW (April 2004))
Erast Fandorin has been called a 19th century James Bond, and there are similarities...but Fandorin is more human than Bond, and Akunin more witty than Fleming. His writing is spare and the plot's place in time and space is achieved through dialogue, internal monologue and mores rather than lavish description. (TELEGRAPH (3.4.04))
Completely gripping. (Joan Smith SUNDAY TIMES (4.4.04))
