Erast Petrovich Fandorin (Russian: Эраст Петрович Фандорин) is a fictional 19th-century Russian detective and the hero of a series of Russian historical detective novels by Boris Akunin.

The first Fandorin novel (The Winter Queen, rus. - Азазель) was published in Russia in 1998, and the latest and the last one was published in November 2012 (The Black City, rus. - Чёрный город).[1] More than 15 million copies of Fandorin novels have been sold as of May 2006,[2] even though the novels were freely available from many Russian web-sites and the hard-copies were relatively expensive by Russian standards.[3] New books in the Fandorin series typically sell over 200,000 copies in the first week alone,[3] with an unparalleled (for mystery novels) first edition of 50,000 copies for the first books to 500,000 copies for the last.[4][5]

The English translations of the novels have been critically acclaimed by, among others, Ruth Rendell.[6]
