Description
Fluke Kelso was once a scholar of promise, but he’s never delivered. But one night, at a symposium in Moscow concerning the release of secret Soviet archives, he is approached by Papu Rapava, a former Kremlin bodyguard with a story to tell. No one but the desperate Kelso would believe the tale, for what Rapava describes is a sort of Holy Grail among researchers: an actual diary left by Joseph Stalin himself. Such an artifact would be the coup of a lifetime for the discredited researcher.
Rapava disappears, and Kelso’s search for the former bodyguard leads him to the man’s daughter, a girl selling herself in the new Moscow of drugs, corruption, and the Russian mafia.
What Kelso sees as the coup of his career might turn out to be the catalyst for an actual coup in Russia. There is a legacy behind the diary, a legacy of evil and death, and Fluke Kelso is unwittingly about to unleash it on the world.
