Since Boris Akunin’s first Erast Fandorin novel, The Winter Queen, published in Russia in 1998, the series has become a worldwide phenomenon, selling over 18 million copies internationally. Random House published The Winter Queen in translation in 2003, selling over 60,000 copies.

Akunin is one of the most widely read novelists in Russia and is much-admired in the global literary community both for his writing and for his political outspokenness. The New Yorker did a major profile of Akunin a few years ago, and Ruth Rendell was among his notable fans. He traveled to New York in May 2016 for the PEN World Voices Festival and he was featured in conversation with Walter Mosley and Keith Gessen in PEN’s recent “We Are the People” issue. He also has hundreds of reviews on Amazon and thousands of reviews/ratings on Goodreads.

The Winter Queen was a New York Times Notable Book and a finalist for the CWA Silver Dagger.

Akunin is credited with reinventing crime fiction in Russia, tapping a new market in the post-Soviet years for popular genre fiction with a literary edge.

Each Fandorin novel plays with a particular sub-genre of the crime novel—from the spy story to the locked-room mystery to the political thriller (The State Counsellor). The seventh book in the series, The Coronation, is an enormously fun take on the hostage thriller.

The first Fandorin novel published by The Mysterious Press, 2016’s The State Counsellor (#6), offered Akunin’s American audience the first chance to read a new Fandorin mystery for the first time in almost a decade. We also have the eighth book in the series under contract.

Akunin’s most recently translated title in the UK, All the World’s a Stage, is a finalist (along with works by Orhan Pamuk and Ismail Kadare) for the inaugural EBRD Literature Prize, launched by the British Council and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

Akunin’s reimagination of Shakespeare’s most famous play, called Hamlet. A Version, had its world premiere in New York in May 2017 and received coverage in the New York Times and Time Out, among other outlets.
