"Ken Follett has done it once more...goes down with the ease and impact of a well-prepared martini." (New York Times Book Review)

His name was Feliks. He came to London to commit a murder that would change history. A master manipulator, he had many weapons at his command, but against him were ranged the whole of the English police, a brilliant and powerful lord, and the young Winston Churchill himself. These odds would have stopped any man in the world - except the man from St. Petersburg.

Have mainly only listened to his recent books. However, after listening to this one, I will be going through all of his books now. Educational and interesting at same time.

Follett has always been educational

This book is a splendid combination of political and social history. Charlotte and her father are much more likable than Lydia, who comes across as weak willed and nearly stupid. But she was a product of her times, of course. Great story, complete with an explanation for why we’ve never heard of the man from St Petersburg. Highly recommended.

This would have been less impressive without the narrator. Well-written and moving story read passionately by Armitage. Well worth the listen! Highly recommend!
