About the book
London, 1893: Private enquiry agents Cyrus Barker and Thomas Llewelyn are summoned to safeguard Tsesarevich Nicholas during his journey to England for a royal wedding in the next installment of Will Thomas's popular series, Dance with Death.
In June 1893, the young Nicholas II travels to London for a royal wedding with his security team and his ballerina lover, Mathilde Kchessinska. Facing threats from a mysterious assassin called La Sylphide and plots from his own family members eager to seize his throne, Nicholas is under the protection of private and official security forces from England and Russia.
Despite these precautions, Prince George of England is mistakenly targeted by an armed anarchist, believed to be Nicholas. Barker and Llewelyn are tasked with uncovering the assassin and any co-conspirators planning harm against the tsesarevich. Their investigation leads them to various suspects, including Llewelyn's old adversary, the assassin Sofia Ilyanova.
Surviving separate attempts on their lives, Barker and Llewelyn must work swiftly to apprehend the culprit and their hired assassin. From high society events to the gritty streets, delving into personal and political motives, the duo must crack the case before a catastrophic event occurs.
