  After the demise of the Soviet Union, the newly-established Russian government privatized its industry by issuing vouchers to all of its citizens, allowing them the chance to be shareholders in the country's burgeoning businesses. The slips are distributed among the population and auctions are arranged where they can be exchanged for actual shares. For the country's rural populations living in abject poverty, the vouchers appear to be little more than pieces of paper, totally separated from the far-off concept of potential future fortunes. 
   
    
   
  But for Texas businessman John Mills and his Czech companion, Petr Kovac, the seemingly-valueless chits suggest a lucrative potential, worth much more than what the current owners are willing to sell them for. They travel to the furthest, coldest reaches of the country to acquire vouchers for the country's national oil company, Gazneft, roving from town to town with suitcases full of cash. But  they quickly learn that the plan has complications—for example, the fact that the auctions at which these vouchers are traded for actual shares have been planned at the most remote, inaccessible locations possible to deter outsiders from buying in. And when the Russian mafia and the oligarchs in charge of Gazneft catch wind of their successes, the stakes become suddenly more deadly.

  An Obsession. A Red Dress. A Mystery That Unravels the Mind. 
  From his window, he watches her every day. The beautiful woman in the red dress. Always the same red dress. Always leaving at exactly 8:00, only to return moments later, repeating the routine like a haunting ritual. 
  For three years, her strange behavior has consumed his thoughts, drawing him deeper into an obsession he can’t explain. Why does she keep returning? Why does she wear the same red dress every day? 
  His curiosity turns to desperation, and in a moment of reckless curiosity, he sends his drone into her apartment. What he sees shatters his reality. A room too perfect, too symmetrical—almost inhuman. A row of identical red dresses hanging in unnerving precision. An immaculate apartment where nothing is out of place, yet everything feels wrong. 
  Then his drone crashes. And his life changes forever. 
  As his paranoia grows, so does the mystery. Who is the woman beyond his window? Why does her world feel like an illusion? And who is truly watching whom? 
  The Woman Beyond My Window is a psychological thriller that explores the thin line between obsession and madness, perception and reality. A haunting tale that will leave you questioning everything, including your own reflection. 
  Perfect for fans of psychological suspense and mind-bending mysteries. 
  Are you ready to look beyond the window?
