THE BLACK RUSSIAN AND THE SERPENT'S STING

A historical novel of suspense that continues the story of Frederick Bruce Thomas, the subject of my biography

THE BLACK RUSSIAN.

Thomas has built a dazzling life in Imperial Russia 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 risks all to confront a criminal cabal and its shadowy foreign masters.

Set in the glamor 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.
