The Girl From Rostov (2016)

About this item

He stood there watching him, smoking a cigarette, silently waiting."Where is my money?" he asked. He spoke softly, as if scolding a child for his misbehavior, trying not to come across as too harsh."I swear to you, I didn't take it. I would never betray you," the man sitting across from him replied. He was tied to a chair, unable to move, the rope cutting into his wrists. He took two steps forward, towering over the man in the chair, well within his personal space. He smacked him hard across the face. The man and the chair were both knocked to the floor. He caught hold of his collar and pulled the chair with him still in it back onto its feet. He took two steps back."Now, shall we do this again?"THE GIRL FROM ROSTOV is a crime thriller/love story, but more importantly, it is also a story of loss and the range of human emotions that a person goes through following it. The orphaned niece of a Russian gangster/international spy and arms dealer must solve the mystery of her uncle's killer. She teams up with the son of a millionaire who has his own set of demons from the past.* A couple of chapters at the beginning of the book are situated in Russia while most of the other scenes take place in India.
