Cleary, a reluctant British spy, finds himself assigned to the most difficult assignment of his career: orchestrate the death of Grigoi Rasputin, the mad monk who is extremely influential over the Russian royal family. To accomplish this he will have to negotiate dangerous ties with the secret police, navigate the halls of power, and tangle with dangerous radicals on the eve of the Russian Revolution.
OK, so now I'm looking at some graphic novels. MKW lent this to me when she saw me reading the Bee times. A quite remarkable telling of the story of the assassination of Rasputin, that reveals that it was essentially a British plot (who knew?), but all told as comic book through dialogue.
Graphic novelization of Rasputin's assassination and the events leading up to the Russian revolution. Beautiful artwork I loved the red, white, and black undertones to everything.
