Summary:
Chronicles British lawyer Nicholas Platt's dubious dealings in Moscow at the turn of the twenty-first century. Nick's descent begins with what seems to be an innocuous meeting with two beautiful Russian sisters, Masha and Katya, whom he saves from a purse-snatcher. He's immediately drawn to the sensual, remote Masha, who soon becomes his lover. Nick doesn't think anything of it when Masha and Katya take him to meet their Aunt Tatiana, and Masha's request that he help Tatiana broker a deal to exchange her Moscow apartment for one out in the country seems simple enough. As Nick, guided by Masha, helps Tatiana hammer out the details of the apartment exchange, little inconsistencies nag at him, but his lust for Masha and thought that she might be the one for him cause him to push aside his worries. A tale of a man seduced by a culture he fancies himself above.
