About the book

The huge emerald that once belonged to the Aztec emperor Montezuma was in its time owned by the conqueror of Mexico, Hernán Cortés, by the petty thief Giovanni, by a Napoleonic colonel, and by Empress Elizaveta Alexeyevna... Several times this stone was lost and reappeared, bringing happiness to some and death to others. At last it came into the hands of Anastasia Raevskaya, lady-in-waiting to the last Russian empress. There its trace disappears... And now, in our days, Montezuma's emerald was found in an old Moscow house, in a hiding place, together with a Fabergé egg. But the treasure hunter Vlad Lozovsky, who stumbled on the cache, could not have suspected how dangerous this find would make his life...
