The Tatiana File
Description
Everyone likes a good story and this is a fast, romantic and furious one. Set in 1949, the action ranges from a hot Orange Free State veld to a wintry Ireland and back again, with unexpected twists and turns along the way. A startling discovery linked to Tatiana, one of Tsar Nicholas II's assassinated daughters, sets a weary white Bloemfontein detective on a perilous odyssey of discovery.
