'Falconer's grasp of period and places is almost flawless ... He's my kind of writer.' - Peter Corris, The Australian
Is she the lost princess? Or just another taxi girl, like a hundred others?
When Michael Sheridan jumped into the Whangpoa River to save a Russian refugee, his life changes forever. The girl bears an uncanny resemblance to Princess Anastasia, who is rumored to have survived the brutal massacre of the Royal family by Bolshevik revolutionaries two years before.
She is suffering from traumatic amnesia and remembers nothing of her life before Shanghai. So who is she?
Unraveling the mystery of Anastasia's identity and past takes them both from the streets of Shanghai to the decadence of pre-war Berlin, from the London of flappers and Charlestons, behind the grim curtain of Bolshevik Russia and finally to New York just before the Wall Street crash.
It may also cost him his life.
Perfect for fans of Gill Paul and Dinah Jeffries
"Falconer weaves a pacy story of obsession, love, greed and corruption ... Really well done." - Sydney Morning Herald
'Murder, scandal and romance all play their part . . . plausible and engrossing.' - Woman's Day
