Prisoner 4745-P has been summoned from the Gulag in Siberia; as to why
he has no idea. Pekkala, as he had been christened, discovers from his
brother that Stalin is the one who has ordered his release. Pekkala’s
brother informs him that Stalin wants him to investigate the killings of
the Tsar and his family.
Pekkala, his brother and Comissar Kirov travel to the mine shaft where
the Romanov family had reportedly dumped into. Bodies are found at the
bottom of the shaft. Pekkala is sure that it is the Romanovs, but one
body is missing; that of Alexei. The trio set off to the house where
the Romanovs had been killed.
There Pekkala will find answers to the mystery behind the Romanovs, but
at what cost to him? Author Sam Eastland’s thriller is well told, I was
taken in right from the get go, and couldn’t it down. An excellent
read. I’m looking forward to reading the sequels.
