Philip Cummings hated change, but when his high-flying job at the Bank of England takes him to Russia he’s caught up in the chaos, turmoil, violence and vengeance of the Bolshevik Revolution. Philip must survive double-cross and cold-blooded murder if he’s to bring the beautiful Countess Sophie Tagleva, her wounded brother, a chest full of the Tsar’s jewels and secret papers out of Russia, and free them from the clutches of all the fighting factions swirling around them.

An exciting, fast-paced historical thriller, immaculately researched, this is the first in a series following Philip Cummings and his family through two world wars and beyond.
