by Ken Follett
Read The Man from St. Petersburg by Ken Follett.The backdrop is the pre-world war time of 1914.Britain is frantically in need of help from Russia to fight Germany.An assassin from Russia is hard bent on sabotaging the treaty talks by killing the prince, who is indulged in leading the innocent Russia...
Don't read this one first. Follett is a really entertaining writer and I think that this is one of his weakest texts. This is something that a Follett fan should read to understand how he has developed over the years, but I doubt it would spur "Follett mania" for the average reader.
