Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Jack Beilis once lived the American dream: custom suits, new cars, and the best clubs. But by 1931, he has sunk so low he cannot feed himself or his ailing father. Now he barely has time to wipe the blood from his hands before he finds himself on a ship from New York to Moscow, running from a crime he never intended.Desperate for an escape route, Jack wants to believe stories of a worker?s paradise in the Soviet Union. Maybe the distance between Ellis Island and Red Square will let him leave poverty?and his pursuers?far behind. Jack accepts an opportunity at the Gorky Ford Factory and embarks on a new life.What he finds, though, is a surveillance society, empty store shelves, and a dangerous network of black markets. There seems to be no way out, until Jack meets Dr. Natasha Lobanova. Could this Russian beauty be his deliverance? When Natasha?s own dark history surfaces, Jack?s fate is threatened. With betrayals and secrets everywhere, Jack struggles to trust anyone or anything?even his own heart.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. After his grandfather dies, avid scholar and budding forensic investigator Cí Song begrudgingly gives up his studies to help his family. But when another tragedy strikes, he?s forced to run and also deemed a fugitive. Dishonored, he has no choice but to accept work as a lowly gravedigger, a position that allows him to sharpen his corpse-reading skills. Soon, he can deduce whether a person killed himself?or was murdered. His prowess earns him notoriety, and Cí receives orders to unearth the perpetrator of a horrific series of mutilations and deaths at the Imperial Court. Cí?s gruesome investigation quickly grows complicated thanks to old loyalties and the presence of an alluring, enigmatic woman.
