Book excerpt: Inspector Vasiliev’s latest case takes him on a rescue mission to Siberia in this historical thriller by the author of Kiev Killings and To Kill a Tsar. Siberian Secrets is the final volume in a trilogy of historical fiction that follows the investigations of Inspector Vasiliev and Sergeant Serov of the Moscow police into the plots to assassinate Alexander II, the pogroms in Kiev, and the Siberian exile system. “Expertly mixes history and mystery with a potent dash of suspense to transport the reader to places and themes previously unexplored in English-language fiction. Complex issues of authenticity and affection, deep-lying injustice, and steadfastness in the face of adversity, intertwine to produce a gripping narrative whose outcome can never be predicted until at long last it arrives, a satisfyingly rich resolution.” —Gerald Smith, Emeritus Professor of Russian, Oxford University; Emeritus Fellow of New College, Oxford; and Fellow of the British Academy “This wonderful novel about a fascinating historical rescue set in Siberia makes for amazing, fast-paced reading-a dramatic story told with great flare.” —Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer, Research Professor, Department of Anthropology and the Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies at Georgetown University

This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “incredibly rich” (New York Times) definitive history of the Bolshoi Ballet, visionary performances onstage compete with political machinations backstage. A critical triumph, Simon Morrison’s “sweeping and authoritative” (Guardian) work, Bolshoi Confidential, details the Bolshoi Ballet’s magnificent history from its earliest tumults to recent scandals. On January 17, 2013, a hooded assailant hurled acid into the face of the artistic director, making international headlines. A lead soloist, enraged by institutional power struggles, later confessed to masterminding the crime. Morrison gives the shocking violence context, describing the ballet as a crucible of art and politics beginning with the disreputable inception of the theater in 1776, through the era of imperial rule, the chaos of revolution, the oppressive Soviet years, and the Bolshoi’s recent $680 million renovation. With vibrant detail including “sex scandals, double-suicide pacts, bribery, arson, executions, prostitution rings, embezzlement, starving orphans, [and] dead cats in lieu of flowers” (New Republic), Morrison makes clear that the history of the Bolshoi Ballet mirrors that of Russia itself.

Book excerpt: At about the same time as a UFO crashed in the New Mexico desert, and hushed up by the US government, another one fell to Earth in Siberia, Russia. The only difference: the “pilots” that crashed in Siberia were alive! Robert William Bruce, in this fourth novel, brings another adventure featuring retired naval intelligence officer, Commander Bill Lloyd, asked to investigate missing research dollars from the National Institute of Health (NIH). Lloyd and his team (Dr. Baker, his father-in-law and retired FBI scientist, and Dorothy, Dr. Baker’s daughter and Bill’s wife) are called to Washington, DC to investigate. Before they are able to question the research scientist in charge of the missing dollars, he’s murdered. But information leads the team to a remote prison hospital in Siberia, Russia, where cloning research is being conducted. The investigative team thus begins their quest for the truth in Siberia! But what is the cost for Bill, his family and friends, and untold scientific discoveries?
