Ever wanted something so bad that you would do anything for it? The Russians (U.S.S.R.) and the United States sure do in Anne Armstrong Thompson's "The Romanov Ransom". The book itself was released in 1977, and takes place about the same time. One man from the United States is caught in the U.S.S.R., and is now in prison for being a spy. The United States would love to have him back, but the Russians want something in return. They want the 12 missing Fabergé eggs, made specifically for Czar Nicholas Romanov's family by Peter Carl Fabergé himself. Where are they located? Hank and Leslie are on the case! But, so are the KGB and a group that wants the return of a czarist nation. Who are the people to which they are talking? Could she actually be ....? Could he be ...? Are some of the Romanov family still be alive? Will the man in prison survive?
Intrigue, mystery, action, and some romance. A good book for those interested in how the U.S. government works, the removal of the Romanov's and the conditions and treatment in Russian prisons, at the time.
Thank you Endeavour Press and NetGalley for this giving me this ebook free for an honest review!
