Book description
1917. Russia. On orders from King George V. a British officer mounted a daring rescue attempt of the Imperial Russian family. The trade – off was a vast shipment of royal gold intended for the purchase of Bolshevik arms.
1983. London. Every year since 1920, Hillyard & Cleef, the respectable merchant bank in the City of London, placed a large sum of money into a numbered Swiss bank account. Laurence Pilgrim, the new American partner, is determined to find out why. No threats of reprisals or dangers will deter him.
