Synopsis: The international-bestselling Russian fantasy author continues the adventures of Sir Max, the lazy gumshoe of the enchanted city of Echo. The tales of Sir Max, who was a daydreaming loser before he discovered the parallel world of Echo, have become an international literary sensation. In the second novel of the Labyrinths of Echoes series, Max is still a hardened smoker, glutton, and all-around loafer. But once again, he finds himself travelling to an alternate universe where he must root out illegal magic as an agent of the Secret Investigative Force. This time, Sir Max is called upon to handle a peculiar political dispute, investigate strange happenings in the cemetery, and when Echo&’s police captain is poisoned, he must lead a team of magicians in pursuit of magical outlaws. &“Echo is a world of all sorts of plots, a sort of Krypton with tobacco and the counter-universe&’s equivalent of vodka.&” —Kirkus Reviews
