Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Mirages of Justice is a historical novel about revolution, love, espionage, and people used blindly by history.In 1918, young Chekist Yakov Blumkin is drawn into a secret operation intended to eliminate both the remaining possibility of a Romanov restoration and evidence of Bolshevik collaboration with Germany. The mission entangles him with the family of Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich and with the young Natalya Paley.Amid assassinations, false identities, revolution, and escape, Blumkin falls in love with a woman his revolution has marked for destruction. He helps her survive, yet when given the chance to remain with her in Paris, he chooses to return to Russia.Natalya goes on to fame. Blumkin returns to conspiracy, war, and intelligence, eventually living under the identity of Richard Sorge. Only at the end does he confront the question at the heart of the novel: whether people ever understand what their sacrifices accomplish-or whether the justice for which they destroy themselves and others is only a mirage.
