πππππππππ: This was a fascinating novel. As a GenXer who came of age in the fall of the USSR and a histfic fan I was excited to get the opportunity to read about a piece of time I didnβt know enough about. Although this is a fictional it sent me down the rabbit hole and I learned so much about Russian organized crime after 1990.
Add to this the lovers from the dueling families and *muah*
I also listened to the audiobook, narrated by Ramiz Monsef and his emoting and accent were perfect.
