The fourth re-release
in New South’s series bringing back into print all of Koning’s
fiction, The Petersburg-Cannes Express is a story of Anna and
Andrew, two early Socialist revolutionaries riding a train across Europe
in the year 1900, attempting to catch a sly former Secret Police
official. Draskovich is traveling to France to extradite their friend
Sophia who shot the vacationing Russian judge who sentenced her innocent
brother to the hard time that killed him.
The novel is a picture of the minds of true
idealists, whose attempts at violence or covert action are layered with
their hearty ideas, making their tasks difficult. Equal partners in a
plot that tests their relationships as lovers and coconspirators, Anna
and Andrew must employ every tool that they have, especially their wits.
