RASPUTIN'S SHADOW
KHOURY, RAYMOND
On a cold, bleak day in 1916, all hell breaks loose in a mining pit in the Ural Mountains. Overcome by a
strange paranoia, the miners attack one another, savagely and ferociously. Minutes later, two men—a
horrified scientist and Grigory Rasputin, trusted confidant of the tsar—hit a detonator, blowing up the mine
to conceal all evidence of the carnage. In the present day, FBI agent Sean Reilly’s search for Reed
Corrigan, the CIA mindcontrol spook who brainwashed Reilly’s son, takes a backseat to a new, disturbing
case. A Russian embassy attaché seems to have committed suicide by jumping out of a fourth-floor
window in Queens. The apartment’s owners, a retired physics teacher from Russia and his wife, have
gone missing, and further investigation reveals that the former may not be who the FBI believe him to be.
Joined by Russian Federal Security Service agent Larisa Tchoumitcheva, Reilly’s investigation of the old
man’s identity will uncover a desperate search for a small, mysterious device, with consequences that
reach back in time and which, in the wrong hands, could have a devastating impact on the modern world.

THE RAVEN'S EYE
MAITLAND, BARRY
DI Kathy Kolla of Scotland Yard is called in as a matter of course by the local Paddington police when a
woman turns up dead in what appears to be an accident. On her houseboat, Vicky Hawks is found by one
of her neighbors having apparently succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning due to improper ventilation
of the narrowboat’s heating system. But while the cause of death seems apparent and there’s no reason
for Kolla to think otherwise, something about this death still bothers her. Meanwhile, her boss, DCI Brock,
is wrestling with harsh budget cuts and a new Commander who is determined to make fundamental
changes to the system—including limiting resources devoted to investigations. Struggling against the
limitations imposed by the new order at Scotland Yard, Brock and Kolla find themselves pulling at the
loose strings in the death of Vicky Hawks, trying to find out who she really was, what she was up to, and
how her death might be related to another earlier tragic accidental death.
