Based on the celebrated biography THE BLACK RUSSIAN by Vladimir Alexandrov.*

A gripping novel of suspense about a Black expatriate who made Imperial Russia his home.

Frederick Bruce Thomas, the son of formerly enslaved parents in Mississippi, built a dazzling new life in tsarist Moscow as a famed entertainment mogul. But when a desperate father begs for his help, he is drawn into a world of crime and international intrigue.

An abducted child. A ruthless trafficking ring—and then his own daughter is taken.

Aided by a rebellious prince and an old woman from Siberia with spiritual gifts, he must risk all to confront a criminal cabal and its shadowy foreign masters.

Set in the glamour and decadence of 1913 Moscow, this novel imaginatively blends history and intrigue into a tale of resilience, family, and the search for home in a world on the brink of upheaval.

One thing, I don't own this website, and in my own activities this website has managers who dictate what is accepted or not and have not always accepted content I have put forward, for perfectly good reasons in my view. So, remember that in applying your book.
