James Mallory is putting together plans for Anneka’s birthday dinner when they get the call—their partner, Woodie Garth, has an intriguing new case, and it’s one Woodie and Jim cannot turn down because it goes back to a clandestine mission the two of them undertook for Teddy Roosevelt in 1918. While Anneka has lots of questions about what went on before her marriage to Jim, those have to be put on hold when they learn their newest case involves helping members of the Russian aristocracy to stay safe from the newly formed Soviets. It is a battle between two factions: those who want to see Russia return to the times of the tsars versus those who will do anything to track down and eliminate the former royals. MG&M’s newest client has a legitimate claim to the throne—but he doesn’t want it. And now it’s up to the detectives to keep young Dmitri Mikhailovich and his bride safe and help them establish an anonymous life in the U.S. before their enemies can find them.
