RASPUTIN'S SHADOW by Raymond Khoury - SIGNED BOOK - ADVANCE READING COPY
See all titles by Raymond Khoury.
On a cold, bleak day in 1916, all
hell breaks loose in a mining pit in the Ural Mountains. Overcome by a
strange paranoia, the miners attack one another, savagely and
ferociously. Minutes later, two men—a horrified scientist and Grigory
Rasputin, trusted confidant of the tsar—hit a detonator, blowing up the
mine to conceal all evidence of the carnage.
In the present day, FBI agent
Sean Reilly’s search for Reed Corrigan, the CIA mindcontrol spook who
brainwashed Reilly’s son, takes a backseat to a new, disturbing case. A
Russian embassy attaché seems to have committed suicide by jumping out
of a fourth-floor window in Queens. The apartment’s owners, a retired
physics teacher from Russia and his wife, have gone missing, and further
investigation reveals that the former may not be who the FBI believe
him to be.
Joined by Russian Federal
Security Service agent Larisa Tchoumitcheva, Reilly’s investigation of
the old man’s identity will uncover a desperate search for a small,
mysterious device, with consequences that reach back in time and which,
in the wrong hands, could have a devastating impact on the modern world.
Packed with the twists, intrigue, and excitement that Khoury’s many fans have come to expect, Rasputin’s Shadow will keep readers turning pages long into the night.
