The gentle axe

Fresh off the case of a deranged student who murdered his landlady, noted police investigator Porfiry Petrovich barely takes a breath before a bizarre and very grisly double murder lands him back on the streets of the tsarist St. Petersburg he knows all too well. The sardonic sleuth follows a trail from the drinking dens of the Haymarket district to an altogether more genteel stratum of society-a hunt that leads him to a conclusion even he will find shocking. In the tradition of such first-rate historical novels such as The Alienist and The Dante Club, The Gentle Axe is atmospheric and tense storytelling from its dramatic opening to its stunning climax.

  • "Saint-Pétersbourg, décembre 1866. Deux cadavres gelés sont découverts dans un coin du parc Petrovski. Porphiri Pétrovich, le juge d'instruction, qui, l'année précédente, avait permis l'arrestation de Raskolnikov, le double meurtrier à la hache, ne tarde pas à mettre en doute la version officielle."
  • "Als in Sint Petersburg in 1866 in een park een dode man in een boom hangt met een bloedbevlekte bijl onder zijn riem, en iets verderop een koffer ligt met daarin een met een bijl om het leven gebrachte dwerg, lijkt de conclusie voor de hand te liggen."
