It had then been six weeks since there had been any word from his one true love, although she had promised to write him as soon as she arrived in Russia.

The former Soviet Republics have officially become democratic and friendly with the whole world. The crime is on the rise. In the 70s and the 80s, thousands of Soviet Jews left the country. The anti-Semitism, social, and political issues made it more and more unbearable. The sudden opening in the policy made it possible to leave the country and free themselves. Years later, they are people of the world while the Russian crime is choking it. Alex, a Russian-born former Israeli commando, is called to help in destroying the Russian Mafia. This is his chance to avenge his parent's death.

It is 1933 and Garnett and Son is on its knees. William Garnett is a journalist, sent to cover Soviet show trials in Moscow in the company of one Ian Fleming.

It's hard to see how things can improve.

"La vitre tintait sous le vent, des nuages gris et bas - des nuages de la ville, des nuages de pierre - passaient dans le ciel - comme s'ils étaient de retour, ces nuages étouffants de l'été que pas un orage n'avait transpercés. Sophia sentit que ces nuages n'étaient pas au dehors mais en elle, que depuis des mois ils s'amoncelaient comme des pierres, et qu'à présent, pour ne pas être étouffée par eux, il fallait qu'elle brise quelque chose en mille morceaux, ou bien qu'elle parte d'ici en courant."
