Product Description
Max Frei’s novels have been an international literary sensation since their debut in 1996, and have swept the fantasy world over. Max Frei is a loser--a big sleeper (during the day, that is--at night he can’t catch a wink), a hardened smoker, and a glutton and loafer. But then he finds a parallel universe where magic is a daily practice. Once an outcast, he’s now "the unequalled Sir Max," and his job is to solve cases more astounding and dangerous than one could imagine. The Stranger’s Woes continues Sir Max’s adventures in the enchanting world of Echo, following the cast of characters introduced in The Stranger, Book One of the series.
Max Frei is the author of the international bestselling Labyrinths of Echo series, of which over two million books have sold in Russia alone, as well as books on literature and art. He lives in Moscow.
