Rasputin's Shadow (Templar series Book 4)
<b>Raymond Khoury, the international bestselling author of <i>The Last Templar</i>, is back with another ingenious, fast-paced thriller that straddles present-day NYC and Russia in the early 1900s—the time of the infamous Rasputin and his mysterious rise to power. </b><br /><br />FBI special agent Sean Reilly is tasked with a delicate case. A Russian diplomat seems to have committed suicide by jumping out of a sixth-floor window in Queens, New York. The apartment’s owners are missing, while a faceless killer known only as Koschey—“the Deathlessâ€â€”is roaming the city and leaving a trail of death in his wake.<br /><br />Joined by Russian FSB agent Larisa Tchoumitcheva, Reilly’s investigation soon uncovers a deadly, desperate search for a mysterious device whose origins reach back in time to the darkest days of the Cold War and to Imperial Russia. A device that, in the wrong hands, could have a devastating impact on our world.<br /><br />Packed with the twists and suspense, the impeccable historical research, and the present and past story lines that Khoury’s fans have come to expect, <i>Rasputin’s Shadow</i> will keep readers turning pages long into the night.<br /><br /><br /><i>From the Paperback edition.</i>
