Set at the time of the Russian Revolution, the end of a centuries old dynasty, the rise of the Bolsheviks sent shockwaves around the world. This is the story of one man who was there. It's real history
- about the riches & excesses, the glory of the Russian nobility, Nicholas & Alexandra, their hemophiliac son, Alexei, notorious Rasputin, Lenin & Trotsky who ruled from palaces where the Czars had once danced till dawn. The man was real too, his name was Arthur Ransome. He was a writer, accused of being a spy, perhaps even a double agent, & he left his wife & beloved daughter & fell in love with Russia & a Russian woman, Evgenia. Fictionalising history & blending it with real life, part i is told as a fairy tale. Wise & foolish kings, princesses, enchantresses (characters more suited to fairy tale than reality), wishes & magic, Russia with its vast cold plains & mighty cities, its riches & poverty, all play a part in the downfall of the Czars & rise of the new order. Part ii is about betrayal
- Ransome the spy, bleak & threatening. Part iii is a love story, a fairy tale, ending
- of Ransome's love for his daughter, Tabitha, & for Evgenia.

As the Nazis roll into Warsaw, a serial killer is unleashed… September 1939. A city ruled by fear. A population brutalised by restrictions & reprisals. Amid the devastation, another hunter begins to prowl. What are a few more deaths amid scores of daily executions? Former chief investigator Jan Kalisz lives a dangerous double life, forced to work with the occupiers as he gathers information for the fledgling Polish resistance. Even his family cannot be told his true allegiance. When the niece of a Wehrmacht general is found terribly mutilated, Jan links the murder to other killings that are of less interest to his new overlords.
