Description
St Petersburg, 1879. A shot rings out in Palace Square, and with it, a deadly game begins. Amidst the city's brutal contrasts, treachery lurks around every corner. As the revolutionaries plot against Tsar Alexander II, Dr Frederick Hadfield finds himself drawn into a perilous double life. With his medical practice dependent on the Anglo-Russian gentry, he risks everything in a cat-and-mouse game of undercover assignations and counter-plotting. From glittering ballrooms to the cruel cells of the House of Preliminary Detention, this gripping thriller takes you on a journey through the shadows of 19th-century Russia.
