About this eBook
"Ken Follett has done it once more . . . goes down with the ease and impact of a well-prepared martini." —New York Times Book Review
His name was Feliks. He came to London to commit a murder that would change history. A master manipulator, he had many weapons at his command, but against him were ranged the whole of the English police, a brilliant and powerful lord, and the young Winston Churchill himself. These odds would have stopped any man in the world—except the man from St. Petersburg.

Excellent first book of Follett's that i've read.Beautifully crafted,though some parts were quite predictable.What impressed me was the theme of a typical english settings and suffragette movement following all a long.Good book!

Short, poignant and believable. The man from St Petersburg will stay with you long after the last page is turned.
