Description

A decade after Tsar Nicholas and his family were murdered and their bodies hidden away, one man lives in purgatory, banished to a Siberian forest. Pekkala was once the most trusted investigator of the Romanovs, the right-hand man of the Tsar himself. Now he is Prisoner 4745-P, living a harsh and solitary existence meant to kill him. But the state needs Pekkala one last time. The man who knew the Romanovs best is assigned to catch their killers, locate the royal child rumored to be alive, and give Stalin the international coup he craves. Find the bodies, Pekkala is told, and you will find your freedom; find the survivor of that bloody night and you will change history. Sam Eastland's series debut introduces a remarkable detective, a dogged, enigmatic outsider who must use his extraordinary talents to solve the one case that may redeem him. "An absolute gem of a book—a riveting historical thriller with a fascinating protagonist. Sam Eastland's steady hand brings the Stalinist Soviet Union to life in all its twitchy, paranoid glory, and his Pekkala is one of the most interesting characters I've come across in a long time. This is a smart, assured, impeccably researched page-turner."—David Liss
