Russian Rules (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781880100509)

One hundred kilometers north of Arkhangelsk, a Russian sea captain ferries a silent operative to a secluded lighthouse.

In Moscow, a hapless American answers an errant phone call and is ordered to make a mob hit.

In a remote village in the Caucasus, a strange sickness is killing off locals.

Blocks from the Kremlin, a disaffected spy chief is plotting a war-fueled power grab.

Unwittingly sucked into a criminal vortex of murder, kidnapping and terrorism, Andrew Dixon is a burned-out American expat in Moscow who makes a series of really bad choices. Choices that are going to get him and his friends killed. His only hope for survival is finding qualities in himself he didn't know existed.

Fat chance.

From the shores of the White Sea to Moscow and the Northern Caucasus, Russian Rules is a high-speed thriller based on actual events, terrifying possibilities, and some really stupid decisions.
