About this book
An appointment as Rasputin's confidential secretary places Féodor Rajevski close to the people who wield power around Russia's imperial throne. William Le Queux tells this historical fiction through Rajevski's account, presenting court influence, official favours and political betrayal as the inner workings of a failing regime. The opening follows his transfer from a government post to work for Rasputin, where a reputation for holiness helps secure access to powerful officials.
Later, a proposed gambling resort on the Black Sea draws London investors, secret telegrams and competing financial interests into the story. Rajevski's reports connect business schemes with conversations inside the imperial apartments.
