In his first season with the NHL, Pavel Bure won the Calder Memorial Trophy as top rookie.

Now, an award-winning journalist delves into the mysteries of Bure's life, including allegations of involvement with the Russian Mafia; his troubled relationship with his father; the feuds with the media and with the Canucks' management; and his ambivalent attitude towards his intensely adoring fans.
