The Deceit of Riches (The Deceit of Riches Book 1)

Description

A senior Russian military engineer is murdered. Was it international espionage or was it treason? In the new Russia not everything is as it seems. Amid the chaos of the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, corruption and hidden agendas at the highest levels of both government and industry have replaced law and order in the modern Russian revolution.

Peter Turner, an American student in Russia hoping to document a new chapter of history in the making, uncovers a murderous shadow network of extortion, money laundering, and espionage, and must get out of Russia before the KGB and the gangsters catch up with him again to silence him for good. In a twisting plot of escalating threats and high stakes revelations Peter must either trust those who set him up, or face those he has exposed. In a harrowing situation where morals are relative and the only choice is between two evils, self-preservation is not as instinctive as one might think.
