Enjoyed it; it's as much a love story as one of intrigue, spies, diamond smuggling, and murder. The term "oligarch" isn't used here... but assume this shows how such lifestyles evolved; how does a Russian entrepreneur become "prosperous" enough to defect? Theft! Weird to be rooting for Russian characters, and more or less happy with the surprise ending, which brings all the questions together in the last few pages. Nikolai would be happy in Russia with his British love, Vivian, but he knows he can't support her in the lifestyle of wealth with a gambling habit; she has been provided for by her ultra rich British ex-husband who still loves her enough to keep providing valuable gifts she immediately sells. She has refused his request to marry again; and falls in love with Nikolai, after meeting at a sale of a Faberge piece his grandfather created, and permitting him to hold and examine it. The Faberge background of the story is perfect . ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A young Soviet diamond trader races to shut down clandestine gem smugglers in Siberia before the cartel decides he is the mastermind of the operation in New York Times-bestselling author Gerald A. Browne's thrilling, atmospheric novel Nikolai Borodin has been assigned to the Soviet diamond export agency's London station for one purpose only: to keep in close touch with the System, the ruthless worldwide diamond cartel headquartered at 11 Harrowhouse Street. Recently the System has been buying large quantities of one-carat diamonds mined in Siberia. But now contraband from the same source is showing up on the market, and the System wants the smugglers stopped. Nikolai knows the System suspects him and his beautiful, spendthrift British girlfriend, Vivian. Determined to find the secret path along which the diamonds flow, Nikolai and Vivian discover something far more terrifying--apocalyptic secrets that spell sudden death.
