Jepson Edgar. A Prince in Petrograd

London: Odhams, 1922. - 256 c.Edgar Jepson’s new novel "A PRINCE IN PETROGRAD" is the first romance of the Bolshevist Terror. It tells of a retired stockbroker who comes to Petrograd at its reddest in search of a missing son-in-law, and is driven into hiding by the Terrorists, discovers a safe lair, and issues from it to kill the persecutors and rescue their victims. It is a satisfying demonstration of what a quiet Englishman can do when put to it. The contrast between the clear-minded man of affairs and the Russian idealists, two of them pretty and charming girls, whom he rescues, affords many occasions for the Jepsonian humour; and the extremely complicated love affair of the two pretty girls.Edgar Alfred Jepson (1863–1938) was an English author. He created primarily mainstream adventure and detective fiction. He also wrote supernatural and fantasy stories.
