Opis

From glittering ballrooms to the cruel cells of the House of Preliminary Detention, from the grandeur of the British Embassy to the underground presses of the young revolutionaries, 'To Kill a Tsar' is a gripping thriller set in a world of brutal contrasts in which treachery is everywhere and nothing is what it seems.

Recenzje

'Williams contrives an appealing blend of Doctor Zhivago, Conrad's Under Western Eyes and Boris Akunin's 19th-century crime fiction. His ability to bring a past world to life matches Furst's' John Dugdale, Sunday Times
