Kyrilo Razumov is a student in the University of St. Petersburg in the early 1910s. His life is quiet as he takes no clear position on any of the great questions of his time. One night, Razumov finds Victor Haldin, a fellow student, who claims to have killed the brutal Minister of State. «Under Western Eyes» is full of cynicism and conflict about the historical failures of revolutionary movements and ideals.

On the night before his wedding, Sinclair finds that his precious amethyst box containing a tiny flask of deadly poison is missing. And he knows it can only have been taken by either of two people: his soon-to-be wife or her cousin. Together with his friend Mr. Worthington, he must find who stole the poison and stop them before they use it. `The Amethyst Box‘ (1905) is a short story by American crime writer Anna Katharine Green; a suspenseful «whodunit» with a dash of romance, which concludes thoroughly unexpectedly.
