An MBA from Kellogg, a six-figure salary teasing toward seven, and a career trajectory in international banking that challenged gravity. Whether in Boston or Moscow, Carson Neshek led a charmed existence filled with fast cars, lucrative business deals and beautiful women. With Russia now open for private investment and the world knocking on the door, Carson only had time for business. A personal life -- or at least its encumbrances -- would have to wait. That included the exotic beauty Sasha and her daughter Vika, for whom Carson was “daddy” only as an occasional patron. Russia was a land of adventure and opportunity that demanded taming. And gambling with it was an intoxicating game until the stakes escalated too far too fast – threatening his career and maybe his life. Carson stood at the dangerous intersection of corrupt politics and mafia-controlled business in Russia. As murders began to pile up he found himself squeezed between the terrifying Russian criminal underworld, all-reaching Russian political power, and even U.S. law. Carson would have to learn whom he could trust and what he could save and then make a choice -- before it was too late.
