Chapter 1Description
L.A.'s Russian community is about to pull Los Angeles Times reporter Eve Diamond, herself the daughter of Russian immigrants, into a stunning spiral of danger and intrigue. When Eve discovers the body of an émigré scientist's teenage son in Griffith Park, unraveling the execution-style shooting places her on the most personal -- and dangerous -- story of her career. Eve steps into the crossfire between old and new worlds, where an enigmatic Cold War spy lures her on, an underworld killer warns her not to go deeper, and where a charming stranger claiming to be her cousin might be drawing her into the sights of a brilliant, vengeful killer.

"First-class, suspense-filled.... Hamilton captures Los Angeles in a way that's comparable to the skills of Michael Connelly and Robert Crais."
-- Sun-Sentinel (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)
