Coronation, or The Last of the Novels (a high-society detective story) is the eighth book in Boris Akunin's "The Adventures of Erast Fandorin" series. This novel takes place in 1896, on the eve of the coronation of Emperor Nicholas II. Mikhail, the four-year-old son of Grand Duke Georgy Alexandrovich, has been kidnapped. The kidnapper, calling himself "Doctor Lind," demands the "Count Orlov" diamond, which adorns the imperial scepter, in exchange for the prince. If the deal fails, the child will be returned to his parents in pieces. But without the scepter, the coronation cannot take place. Erast Petrovich Fandorin undertakes to save the honor of the monarchy. The story is told in the form of a diary by Afanasy Zyukin, butler to Grand Duke Georgy Alexandrovich. The book recreates the tragic atmosphere of late 19th-century Russia and describes the Khodynka disaster.

We are pleased to present a new edition of the novel, supplemented by an exclusive chapter, "Decoding." In this unique article, Boris Akunin lifts the veil of secrecy surrounding the book's creation and its characters.
In this new chapter, you'll learn what inspired the author to write this story, how the main characters were born and their fates, and what real-life events and cultural motifs influenced the plot.
