Book Description
When former Russian SVR Captain Anastasia "Anya" Burinkova defected to the United States, the life she imagined was far from the one she discovered. As the freedom she's longed for turns to little more than imprisonment, her deadly skill set, forged and honed behind the Iron Curtain, is the only key that can possibly unshackle her.A late-night vigilante mission under the veil of darkness turns from vendetta to entrapment in an instant. What should've been a mission to right decades-old injustices becomes a deadly encounter with federal agents determined to turn the assassin into an indentured servant.With terrifying glimpses inside the modern-day Russian Mafia in the United States, this non-stop thriller takes the reader into the hedonistic streets of Miami's South Beach, where millionaires play alongside The Bratva - The Brotherhood - of former Russian prisoners and current international criminals bent on breaking every rule to collect what they believe the world owes them.Loosely based on actual events following the fall of the Soviet Union, The Russian's Pride takes readers on a harrowing march through an underworld they likely never knew existed right under their noses. Book number one in the Avenging Angel - Seven Deadly Sins Series lures readers into the murderous foyer of the Russkaya Mafiya. The remainder of the series promises to explore the darkest, deadliest, corners of every room.
