About this product
Product Information
January 1917--With St. Petersburg on the brink of revolution, Sandro Ruzsky, the city's chief police investigator, returns from exile in Siberia only to be assigned a grisly case: the bodies of a young couple found on the ice of the frozen River Neva, just outside the Tsar's Winter Palace. Ruzsky's investigation leads him dangerously close to the royal family and to the woman he loves, and he finds himself confronting both a ruthless killer and the ghosts of his past as he fights desperately to save all that he cares for. With meticulous research and narrative skill" "Tom Bradby" "brilliantly re-creates the gilded salons and squalid tenements of St. Petersburg in the last days of the tsars. Evocative and thrilling, The White Russian" "is a tumultuous story of murder and betrayal in a city at the crossroads of history.

Reviews
Praise forThe Master of Rain "Exotic Shanghai of 1926…has been enterprisingly summoned by Mr. Bradby. In this ambitious, atmospheric crime novel…a city on the brink is recreated with impressive diligence. The physical details are strong and the politics appropriately ominous.ChinatownviaCasablanca." New York Times "Tom Bradby's expert evocation of the hothouse atmosphere of Twenties Shanghai makes an exotic backdrop to a crackling murder mystery. This is an immensely atmostpheric, gripping detective story with just the right mixture of exoticism, violence, and romance." -The Times(London) "Tense and rather lush, expertly working the wonderful setting without overplaying the cultural clash: eerily well suited to these parlous times." -Kirkus Reviews "Rich, dark, atmospheric, this fine novel captures time and place perfectly... It's a great crime story that ends up in a place you won't predict ... and a great love story that you desperately hopewillend up in the place you predict." Lee Child, bestselling author ofWithout Fail "As we turn the pages and stray deeper into Tom Bradby's decadent, strangely perfumed world, we grow aware that something sinister lies just beyond the reach of our vision, something we cannot see but that we nevertheless know is there.The Master of Rainis an astonishing, haunting, masterful debut." Lincoln Child, bestselling author ofUtopia "Beneath the surface of this clever book, a thrilling yarn of murder and mayhem, we find a wise, richly layered, and utterly convincing portrait of what was the most evil and fatally fascinating of all the modern world's cities. No one has managed to bring Shanghai so alive in all its ghastly splendor." Simon Winchester, author ofThe Professor and the Madman
