In this complete and unauthorized biography, Kerry Banks takes us behind the scenes to Bure’s origins in Russia and the circuitous route that brought him to the West. He also probes the many riddles that surround Bure, including his annulled marriage, his alleged involvement with the Russian Mafia and his troubled relationship with his father.

Banks includes Bure's time with the Florida Panthers as well as the engagement to Anna Kournikova, the tennis Lolita, stealing her away from her former lover and one of Bure’s best friends, Sergei Fedorov of the Detroit Red Wings. The short-lived engagement with Kournikova is only the latest twist in an ever-evolving story of intrigue and mystery.
