Synopsis
Pelagia - bespectacled, freckled, red-haired, extraordinarily clumsy and constantly knitting - teaches gymnastics and literature, and in her spare time solves crimes. In this novel, Pelagia finds herself investigating a self-proclaimed Russian prophet, Manuila and his followers, who deny Jesus Christ and the Church. Her investigation is guided in part by ancient manuscripts, and it involves murder, deception, miracles, romance and a crisis of faith for our inimitable heroine.

A clever, quirky novel where you never quite know what's going to happen next (Brandon Robshaw INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)
'On paper Sister Pelagia might seem an eerily dull fictional detective, but in Boris Akunin's hands she becomes as luminous as a Russian icon.' (Toby Clements DAILY TELEGRAPH)
