Blurb: “With the same riveting historical narrative that made The Kitchen Boy a national bestseller, Robert Alexander returns to Russia for the harrowing tale of Rasputin's final days as told by his young and spirited daughter, Maria.
After the fury of the Russian Revolution has swept Nicholas and Alexandra from the throne of Imperial Russia, a special commission is set up to investigate the "dark forces" that caused the downfall of the House of Romanov. The focus, of course, turns to Grigori Rasputin, the notorious holy man and healer who was never far from that throne.
To discover the truth, the commission interrogates Maria Rasputin, the oldest of the Rasputin chil-dren, in the ransacked Winter Palace. There, she vividly recounts a politically tumultuous Russia, where Rasputin's powerful influence over the Romanovs is unsettling to all levels of society, and the threats to his life are no secret. While vast conspiracies mount against her father, Maria must struggle with the discovery of Rasputin's true nature-his unbridled carnal appetites, mysterious relationship with the Empress, rumors of involvement in secret religious cults-to save her father from his murderers. With clarity and courage, Maria shatters the myths of Rasputin's murder, revealing how she tried to save her father, who really killed Rasputin and, most importantly, the devious secrets his murderers still guard.
Using long lost files, Robert Alexander once again delivers an imaginative and compelling story:
Rasputin's Daughter vividly brings to life one of history's most fascinating and legendary periods.”
