The Man from St. Petersburg (P)

The Man from St. Petersburg by Ken Follett (P)

One assassin. One royal target. One woman caught in a deadly choice.

As World War I looms, Britain seeks a secret alliance with Russia. When Czar Nicholas’s nephew, Prince Alexei, arrives in London for confidential naval talks, powerful forces set deadly plans in motion. Among them is Feliks Kschessinsky—a shadowy Russian anarchist with orders to assassinate the prince.

But Feliks’s mission becomes complicated when he crosses paths with Lydia, a Russian aristocrat—and the wife of British nobleman Lord Walden. Her past with Feliks resurfaces, threatening not just the mission, but her daughter’s life.

The Man from St. Petersburg is a gripping historical thriller of espionage, revolution, and forbidden love from bestselling author Ken Follett.
