Life is already tough for young Eva, Ilya, and Oleg as they struggle to endure the arctic Moscow winter, but it’s about to get a lot tougher. A family crisis forces Ilya to take desperate measures, precipitating him and his friends into the heart of an international plot involving drugs, terrorism and corruption at the highest levels of the FSB, the Russian version of the CIA and FBI. The suspense grows more intense by the page, as—like the Russian nesting dolls of the title—the author deftly unveils one unexpected plot twist after another, culminating in a supremely satisfying, completely unpredictable finale.
