The Faberge Secret by Charles Belfoure
Author Charles Belfoure takes readers on a breathless journey from the gilded ballrooms of Imperial Russia to the grim violence of the pogroms in this thrilling historical adventure. Set in St. Petersburg, 1903, Prince Dimitri Markhov counts himself lucky to be a close friend of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra. Cocooned by the glittering wealth of the Imperial court and a life of luxury, the talented architect is abruptly confronted by the death and destruction wrought by a pogrom and taken aback. What did these people do to deserve such brutality? The Tsar tells him the Jews themselves were to blame, but Dimitri can’t forget what he’s seen.
