Dmitri and the One-Legged Lady Summary

Dmitri and the One-Legged Lady by Michael Pearce

The second in the delightfully witty and diverting new crime series set in Tsarist Russia from the award-winning Michael Pearce.

A dreamy province of Tsarist Russia in the 1980s. An ambitious young lawyer. And the One-Legged Lady, one of the most important ikons in the district, goes missing. Exactly how important she is, the sceptical Dmitri, whose task it is to track her down, will soon find out.

Who has taken her and for why? The sinister Volkov, from the Tsar's Corps of Gendarmes, suspects the theft has something to do with a wave of popular feeling at a time of famine - which means trouble for some innocent people, unless Dmitri gets there first...
