Kate Hennessey is filming a documentary that targets the harsh choices faced by women in Russia. But killers soon target Kate, and each harrowing escape draws her deeper into the nested plots that threaten. Readers will cheer as she and her Russian friends struggle through the political chaos of Russia—and America—in 1991. The book reminds us that we must never take our rights for granted, that without vigilance they may be lost. Book-discussion questions. Original.
