The Red Symbol

St. Petersburg, 1905. The city teeters on the edge of revolution, and journalist Maurice Wynn has never been more afraid for his life, or for the woman he loves. When Maurice receives an urgent summons to the Russian capital, he hopes to confess his feelings to Anne Pendennis before he leaves. But before he can speak, a dying stranger collapses in his flat, pressing a photograph into his hands: Anne, smiling. Now Maurice must race to Russia to unravel a conspiracy that reaches from the gaslit streets of London to the frozen chaos of a city about to explode. A murder connects to the dinner where he first glimpsed Anne. A shadowy figure named Cassavetti seems to pull every string. And as danger closes in, Maurice realizes the woman he adores isn't just at risk, she's caught in a game far larger than any of them imagined. This is romantic adventure at its early twentieth-century finest: pulse-quickening action, political intrigue, and a love story developing against the backdrop of a revolution about to consume everything.
