Miles is assigned to perform a background check on one of the candidates, but research becomes the least of his concerns when he is nearly killed by gunman on a city plaza. Suddenly Miles is racing across continents, his only guide a cryptic utterance of Rasputin's implying that the infamous 1918 massacre of the Romanov family was not the last chapter in their story. The prophecy's implications are earth-shattering- not only for the future of the tsar and mother Russia, but also for Miles himself UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/bios/random051/2004303034.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random051/2004303034.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/random051/2004303034.html ER -
