Title: The Prince and the Pretender Author: Vincent Lardo Published by: Alyson Publications, 1984 ISBN: 0-932870-53-8 [trade paperback, 203 pages]
In 1917, young Alexis Romanov, heir to the Russian throne, was murdered along with the rest of his family by the Bolsheviks.Or so historians have surmised. No bodies were ever found.
Nearly seven decades later, at a New York YMCA, Tom Bradshaw meets a young man with a royal bearing and an unusual past. The chemistry between the two is perfect, and soon they are spending much of their free time together. As Tom learns more about his new friend's history, an elaborate plan begins to unfold in his mind -- a plan so preposterous that he knows everything must be thought out to the last detail if it is to succeed.
