'Captivating' Sunday Times 'Glittering' Sunday Express London dances to the tune of Gorskyâe(tm)s billions.The most enigmatic of oligarchs, Gorsky desires and gets the best of everything and now he has his sights set on Natalia. That she is already married is an inconvenient detail. Nick works in a shabby-chic bookshop. When Gorsky approaches him with the commission of a lifetime, Nick suddenly gains access to the world of the wealthy and the beautiful. But this privilege comes at a price and Nick finds his new life suddenly fraught with danger...

A very quick and enjoyable read. Not exceptionally profound. Found it really picked up towards the end and the end of the book was far more enjoyable than the start. Loved the references to all cultures and was nice to see a part of myself in an English book.

I love bookshops, The Great Gatsby and London. I also have a fascination for all things Russian so I should have really loved this book. I found it very slow in the beginning and I also really did't care about any of the characters or more importantly what happened to them. The lifestyles depicted in the book are just so depressing and some of the references I did n't understand either. The second part was more dramatic and much better in my opinion.
