La vendetta di Smirnoff

After many years, the Spirit-with-the-Hatchet goes back to the Canadian impregnable refuge of Duke Smirnoff. But there, in the ruins of the fortress that once dominated the area, he finds the dead body of the Russian despot. In a stormy night, an old friend of Zagor’s goes to Darkwood, to tell him that Smirnoff is still alive and trying to cause a war between the British and the Russian Empires!
