Ukraine, 2001
Three street-kids
A Mafia hitman
A deadly chase

Dima, Alyona and Sasha, three street-kids with nothing but each other, stumble on a holdall full of cocaine. This could be it. A way out. The dreams they'd had of a different life, as they lay huddled in the abandoned building that they called home, could become their reality. Sell the drugs. Take the money. Leave. It was as easy as that.

Leonid, a Mafia hit man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, is sent to retrieve the cocaine and dispose of the children. Failure isn't an option. He will pursue them to the end.

Nadia, a naive expat who is looking for a new beginning, befriends the children. In her own way she tries to help. Some food, clothes, compassion.

As their paths get tangled up, in the biting cold of a ferocious winter in Kyiv, all of them will need to find more strength and courage than they ever imagined they had if they are to survive.

What do you call on when you have nothing left to give?

What they are saying about Don't Get Involved

“The street kids the story speaks of can't help but grip you, heart breaking but at the same time heart warming, you can't not love and become embroiled into their lives. Its compelling, engaging and at times quite poignant and I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Kiev with these kids. Highly Recommended” Alex J Book Reviews

“An atmospheric read with some beautiful scenes making me feel like I am in the story. I have to admit I have never read a book like this one before. There is something really mesmerising about this story. Along with the crime, the author takes us on an emotional roller-coaster with scenes that pulled on my heartstrings. This is the first book that I have read by this author and it most certainly won't be the last.” Baker's Not So Secret Blog

“The streets of Kyiv come alive with vivid imagery and the story is raw, sensitive and compelling.” Waggy Tales Blog

“Dark and gritty, providing an insight into the hidden aspects of society that most of us are fortunate enough to not ever have to experience. Curlew does a fantastic job of painting a picture of the city.” Books & Beyond

“Curlew certainly knows how to draw the reader in and keep them engrossed. I had my heart in my mouth as the story unfolded. Don’t get Involved packs so much into its pages, we have crime, its thrilling, full of compassion, and makes for one hell of a read, taking you on a roller-coaster of emotions.” Lost In The Land Of Books

“The writing style is top-notch, immersive, atmospheric, and full of emotion. This is not a book to leave you with a smile on your face but with hope in your heart that even on the hardest winters there is room to dream and to believe in magic.” Miss Known

“Don't Get Involved grabbed my attention and I found it very difficult to put down, reading it in one sitting. It's a dark and often tense novel, written in a manner that I found very involving with short and snappy sentences charged with detail that drew me right in to the culture of Kyiv.” Book Drunk

“A fantastic thriller with a beautiful insight into Ukraine and in particular Kyiv as a city, its culture and beauty really sing though the pages of this story.” Books & Emma

“Wow, what a read! A really well written tale of hope when you feel like despairing.” The Divine Write

Diritto di recesso

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
