In order to give permanence to the Dream, Ilyana Yurievna Kirakova must be convicted, then put to death for her crimes.

They want to spare her, unaware that doing so will destroy the Dream and more. It will unleash Hell, for if the Dream dies, the antichrists conquest of the world will then be total and complete. Equally a concern is Petr, the CIA man who knows who Ilyana really is. He too will do everything he can to save her, including reveal her. A revelation that could also potentially destroy the Dream. Thus, this has become a time of trial and struggle, love, fear, and loss, unleashed amidst the uncompromising final battle. A battle the wolfpire desperately needs to win even though victory will likely cost her everything she personally wants and loves. It could even cost her, her actual life.

KATE HENNESSEY HAS ARRIVED with colleagues in January, 1991 to take part in Leningrad's Second International Documentary Festival. The USSR is in severe economic and political crisis. Crime is rampant, shelves are bare. Kate stumbles into an "illegal meeting" of women and audiotapes their descriptions of the harshness of their lives as well as their criticisms of current leaders. There, Sveta, age 17, confides to her that she is afraid she will be killed. Kate offers to help, and is swept up in a series of frightening events, beginning with Kate's and Sveta's abduction by Kolya, a drunken cab driver, to a cemetery on the outskirts of Leningrad. Kate is robbed of earrings her lover Gilly has given her, then left to die in the bitter cold. She makes it to a nearby inn, believing that Sveta also escaped. Was the abduction random, part of the escalating crime wave? Was it meant for Sveta who feared for her life? Or was Kate herself the target? She might be under scrutiny, Kate decides, because when she first arrived, she inadvertently videotaped an officer with a scarred face talking with a baby-faced civilian in a gray designer suit in the hotel bar. Since then a red-haired soldier-one of the many soldiers roaming the hotel-seems to be following her. Her guide book warns, No pictures allowed of the military. Kate's more worried about the fight that she and Gilly had just before she left the U.S., and she throws herself into gathering more footage, her "Letters from Leningrad" for her NYC course in guerrilla filmmaking. As rumors circulate of an impending coup, Kate discovers that Sveta is missing and tapes a video interview of Sveta's lover, 17-year-old Nadya, who has been raped by the police because she is rozovaya, gay. Kate learns to her horror when she and Nadya visit the Kafé Dusha (Café Soul), a dairy bar where gay women socialize, that Sveta may be incarcerated in a Psychiatric Clinic for the Cure (drugs and shock therapy). Or she may be dead. After an invasion into her hotel room while she sleeps and a near miss by a speeding convoy truck at the Palace of Pavlovsk, Kate understands that she is not a victim of Leningrad's rising crime wave but that there is a real plot to kill her as well as to confiscate her videotapes. An attack against her as she shops along the Nevsky Prospekt and a devastating fire in the wing of her hotel force her (her videos taped to her body) to flee Leningrad with the help of new Russian friends. She is pursued by the scar-faced KGB officer and the local police who have found Sveta's frozen body in the cemetery pond. BACK HOME IN HER NYC APARTMENT, Kate finds that the danger overseas has come straight to her doorstep. What she discovers not only threatens her hopes for a happy future with Gilly, but everything she thought she knew about the past and present, good and evil, and the deadly price of keeping silent. Advance Reviews: "Gutsy Kate Hennessey is filming a documentary that targets the harsh choices faced by women in Russia. But killers soon target Kate, and each harrowing escape draws her deeper into the nested plots that threaten. Readers will cheer as she and her Russian friends struggle through the political chaos of Russia-and America-in 1991." PM Carlson, Murder in the Dog Days "A chilling thriller, if there ever was one. It begins with a terrifying, icy chase through a dark, snow-packed cemetery in the brutal cold, and the excitement ratchets up from there. Read this book."- Theasa Tuohy, The Five O'Clock Follies "In this intriguing, fast-moving, very readable thriller the authors have effectively captured the Russian atmosphere which, despite perestroika and glasnost, is as murky and menacing as ever--and in which the KGB continues to remain in total control."--Albert Ashforth, The Rendition

EDGAR AWARD NOMINEE FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL A haunting, epic novel about betrayal, revenge, and redemption that follows three generations of Russian women, from the 1917 revolution to the last days of the Soviet Union, and the enduring love story at the center. In a faraway kingdom, in a long-ago land... ...a young girl lived happily in Moscow with her family: a sister, a father, and an eccentric mother who liked to tell fairy tales and collect porcelain dolls. One summer night, everything changed, and all that remained of that family were the girl and her mother. Now, a decade later and studying at Oxford University, Rosie has an English name, a loving fiancé, and a promising future, but all she wants is to understand—and bury—the past. After her mother dies, Rosie returns to Russia, armed with little more than her mother’s strange folklore—and a single key. What she uncovers is a devastating family history that spans the 1917 Revolution, the siege of Leningrad, Stalin’s purges, and beyond. At the heart of this saga stands a young noblewoman, Tonya, as pretty as a porcelain doll, whose actions—and love for an idealistic man—will set off a sweeping story that reverberates across the century....
