The White Russian

ISBN: 9780593048122

Autor: Bradby

EGZEMPLARZ EKSPOZYCYJNY.
St Petersburg 1917. The capital of the glittering empire of the Tsars and a city on the brink of revolution where the jackals of the Secret Police intrigue for their own survival as their aristocratic masters indulge in one last, desperate round of hedonism.

For Sandro Ruzsky, chief investigator of the city police, even this decaying world provides the opportunity for a new beginning. Banished to Siberia for four years for pursuing a case his superiors would rather hed quietly buried, Ruzsky finds himself investigating the murders of a young couple found out on the ice of the frozen river Neva.

The dead girl was a nanny at the Imperial Palace, the man an American from Chicago. The brutality of their deaths seems an allegory for the times, while for Ruzsky the investigation leads, at every turn, dangerously closer to home.

At the heart of the case lies Maria, the beautiful ballerina Ruzsky once loved and lost. But is she a willing participant in what appears to be a dangerous conspiracy, or is she likely to be its next victim?

In a city on the verge of revolution, and pitted against a ruthless murderer who relishes taunting him, Ruzsky finds himself at last face to face with his own past as he fights to save everything he cares for, before the world into which he was born goes up in flames.

Praise for The Master of Rain:

An immensely atmospheric, gripping detective story with just the right mixture of exoticism, violence and romance.
The Times

Rich, dark, atmospheric, this fine novel captures time and place perfectly. A great crime story that ends up in a place you won predict.
Lee Child

Nigh on impossible to put down . . . This intelligent thriller brings Shanghai to life as Gorky Park did for Moscow.
Time Out

The atmosphere and menace of Twenties Shanghai are brought to vivid life as the backdrop to this gripping tale.
