Watch the ISBN!! This is a Russian translation of the Australian The Killer Bean of Calabar and Other stories. I am told that the title means something like 'Quiet Murder', the subtitle, Vsemirnaia istoriia udov i otravitelei, means something like 'World History of Poison and Poisoning', which is fairly accurate. It was announced as published in April, then August, 2008. I received my copies in September 2008.

The 13-digit ISBN 9785389001299 appears in the book itself but seems not to appear anywhere on the Web, but a spurious ISBN-13, 978389001289 (12 digits only) has been used by the publisher.
