This story spans borders as we follow Ukrainian-born Mark Neider on a series of adventures and misadventures in the United States and Russia in the early 1990s. From crime to constitutional crisis and film directors to romantic entanglements, this tale engages readers from beginning to end.Mark Neider, a young Ukrainian-born American IT specialist, finds himself in crime-ridden Yeltsins Russia, hot on the trail of wheeler dealers who swindled him out of a small fortune back in New York. In Moscow, Mark survives an aborted coup in October 1993 and encounters a mysterious stranger who claims to have had a hand in the recent constitutional crisis. Tasha, Marks Moscow daredevil girlfriend, helps him retrieve the money at a significant body count, but Mark is only allowed to leave the country with 10K, a mere fraction of the loot now in his possession. Tasha and her film scholar aunt hatch a plan. Tashas aunt keeps the money while her wealthy Chicagoan ex disburses the equivalent amount to Mark in return for Marks interviewing the elderly sister of Greg Davis, an American film director who is the subject of Tashas aunts scholarly interest. But theres more than meets the eye to Greg Daviss sister who takes Mark on a journey he may or may not return from.
