The White Russian

Praise

“A cunning story of love, death and betrayal.” –Chicago Tribune

“Atmospheric and richly entertaining. . . . Political intrigue of the highest order.” –The Washington Post

“A stretch limo of a book, needing every inch of interior space to incorporate its grand themes of political intrigue, social unrest and romantic betrayal.” –The News & Observer

“Imperial Russia and the story of the doomed royal family continue to fascinate…. The tale of the Romanovs has always been stranger than fiction. Still, the small details that Bradby includes…lend a tantalizing authenticity to his fictional sidebar to one of the great stories of the twentieth century.” –Orlando Sentinel

“Brilliant. . . . St. Petersburg . . . illuminates The White Russian. . . . Rusky is a character to remember. . . . A complex mystery.”—Columbus Dispatch

“Brady fills The White Russian with great period detail and fits his intrigues snugly within the complicated and dangerous politics of its time. . . . Rusky and Maria’s doomed love . . . Rusky’s attempt to reconnect with his young son, and his father’s clumsy move toward reconciliation give The White Russian a poignancy and urgency that go perfectly with its portrait of a nation on the edge of the abyss.” —The Flint Journal

“Exceptionally rich. . . . The White Russian is a masterful creation of suspense set in deadly times.” —The Manhattan Mercury (Kansas)
