Erast Fandorin by Boris Akunin
Erast Fandorin is the protagonist in a series of historical mystery novels by Russian novelist Boris Akunin. Erast Fandorin exists in 19th century Russia, where he has joined the police force at a young age and became a detective extraordinaire. He is a master of disguise, able to infiltrate hideouts of his enemies. When he is in disguise, he takes on the personality of that disguise, leading to a flawless “performance.” The series has been adapted to film (in Russian) and stage, while Paul Verhoeven owns the English-language rights to the first novel of the series. In Russia, the popularity of the series can be compared to Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.
