She Lover of Death	comment	She Lover of Death (Любовница смерти, "Mistress of Death") is a 2001 Russian novel by Boris Akunin. It is the eighth novel in the Erast Fandorin mystery series.The story is set in Moscow in the year 1900. A rather impressionable, naive, melodramatic young woman named Masha travels from the provincial backwater of Irkutsk to the city, adapts the alias of Columbine, and joins a suicide club. It's all very morbidly romantic, as the members of the suicide club, led by a mysterious man called Prospero, aka the Doge, off themselves one by one. Columbine is distracted however from her imminent date by death by an intruder into the club—one Erast Petrovich Fandorin, who has been hired to investigate the rash of suicides and the club they're associated with. Fandorin struggles to snap Columbine out of her romantic obsession with death, while also discovering that all is not as it seems with the suicide club and the Doge.

She Lover of Death / int_156251b5	type	Mono no Aware
She Lover of Death / int_156251b5	comment	Mono no Aware: While infiltrating Prospero's club as "Prince Genji", Fandorin aces his entrance exam — composing an impromptu poem for Prospero's prompt — by subtly introducing the club to the concept of mono no aware. When instead of giving a verbal prompt, Prospero takes a bite from an apple, Fandorin fires back with a haiku (which is immediately extolled by the senior members, including Prospero himself):

The chaos caused by Fandorin attempting to escape from the Trap Door causes Prospero to dive to the desk and close the hatch—causing the roulette wheel on which the two glasses are poised to spin around. That leads to Prospero drinking the glass of acid that he'd intended Horatio to drink.

After examining the book, Erast Fandorin quickly figures out that this was a ploy by Prospero, who wrote the message in the book with invisible ink, then inserted a bookmark in such a way that a different set of chemicals on it would seep through to the target page and reveal the message after a couple days.
