Details for "Reading of "Stray Dog Winter""

At once an unconventional thriller and an original, unforgettable love sory, Stray Dog Winter takes readers to 1980s Moscow-and into the heart of a extortion plot designed to change the course of Cold War history. Restless young artist Darcy Bright is attending university when an unexpected gift arrives from his elusive half-sister, Fin: a ticket to the Soviet Union, housed in a leather money belt, and an invitation for him to join her there. Although their relationship has suffered in the past-clouded by dark family secrets and Fin's sudden, unexplained disappearances-Darcy decides to put himself in his sister's hands, and brings himself to the USSR. Upon his arrival into the bleak Soviet winter of 1984, Darcy is immediately embroiled in Fin's mysterious life there and also drawn to Moscow's forbidden underground. Quickly and irrevocably swept up in a web of political and sexual intrigues, Darcy soon discovers Fin's involvement in a dangerous game of her own, and the already tenuous bond between them starts to unravel. Atmospheric and suspenseful, David Francis's Stray Dog Winter is pure Soviet noir, a remarkable tale of love, passion, politics, identity, and espionage.
