Thank you everyone for your generous comments!
You will find that my book is very different to what has appeared in print before. With the benefit of accessing key Russian documents, diaries, confidential communications and newspaper articles of the day, my book takes a medical and legal approach to reveal all the specific details that comprised the "Rasputin Delo". The police and procuratorial investigations interconnect with the numerous political intrigues, which emerged during the latter years of the Imperial Russia. The various machinations not only involved numerous members of the Imperial Family and polite society, but the Duma representatives and the military generals.
Furthermore, I present the real forensic report (first time to be published in the West) and include all the police depositions in unabridged form in translation. There is also re-examination of the crime itself, presenting a common sense approach that shall reveal who initiated the conspiracy to murder Rasputin, why this deed was undertaken and the political ramifications after the deed was carried out. I must confess that the entire episode is rather a sordid matter that was hidden among the pages of Russian history but now has been told.
