Produktbeschreibung

In this gripping novel, an American investment adviser travels to post-glasnost Russia to teach business only to encounter crime, corruption, and danger. In late September 1993, Brooke Fielding, a thirty-eight-year-old New York investment manager and the daughter of Jewish Holocaust survivors, accepts an invitation to teach entrepreneurial skills to Russian businesswomen in Moscow. Though excited by the opportunity to be one of the first Americans to visit Russia after the fall of communism, she wonders what awaits her in the country that persecuted her mother just a generation ago. But as the Russian parliament's uprising against President Boris Yeltsin turns Moscow into a volatile war zone, Brooke finds that her involvement comes at a high cost. For in a city where "capitalism" is still a dirty word, where neighbors spy on neighbors and the new economy is in the hands of a few dangerous men, nothing Brooke does goes unnoticed-and a mistake in her past may now compromise her future. Praise for Hotel Moscow "With the urgency of a thriller and the sharp, atmospheric lens of a great documentary, Hotel Moscow hurls you into the vortex of the corrupt, outlaw world of the Soviet Union morphing into modern Russia. A fascinating and ultimately gripping read." -Andrew Gross, New York Times-bestselling author "Bold and breathless... Hotel Moscow explores both the personal and the political with compelling prose, heartfelt insights, and gripping action." -Ellen Meister, author of Farewell, Dorothy Parker "A tantalizing book full of corruption, extortion, and shocking treatment of women-and that is just the tip of the Russian iceberg.... I was mesmerized from beginning to end." -Deborah Rodriguez, author of The Kabul Beauty School
