Russia, 1990s. Power is a prize. Trust is a death sentence.
The Soviet Union’s collapse leaves a brutal void—gangsters, corrupt politicians, and killers vie for control in a nation spiraling into chaos.
In St. Petersburg, Stepa, a lowlife enforcer, fights to shield his wife from a betrayal-soaked underworld. Survival demands blood—and silence hides a fragile love that could break him.
In Moscow, Vlad, a cunning deputy mayor, climbs through dirty deals with Hammer, the mafia kingpin, and the shadowy Prime Minister. But power’s price is steep—and control slips like caviar through fingers.
As Russia fractures, their paths collide in a gritty dance of loyalty and ruin. Who survives? Who’s devoured?
Blood and Caviar is a noir-drenched political thriller pulsing with post-Soviet chaos—perfect for fans of Child 44 and The Americans. #4 New Release in Historical Russian Fiction—â¶Ä�Cinematic, hauntingâ€� (5 stars), â€�Devastating—in the best wayâ€� (5 stars).
“In this world, innocence is a myth. Loyalty kills.�
