  Extortion, lies, duplicity and murder, all of which take place in Moscow's dark underworld. At the center, unknowingly, is Alexandra Malikova, a white-collared professional by day and a high-end escort by night. Amid the chaos Alexandra decides to face the scars of her adoptive past, the emptiness of her superficial life and the future with the one man she has fallen in love with. Where no one is who they seem and a vengeful assassin is carrying out orders to prevent a weapon's deal, who will emerge unscathed? And alive? Christian Hirsch is a business professional who has travelled and worked throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It's having lived in so many diverse places and his exposure to the East and West that gives Christian a unique perspective in his writing.

  Selections from the Poetry of...

  It must be remembered, that these poems are the effusions of men who never enjoyed any of what we call the luxuries of life; yet how refined are the generality of their sentiments! Of men who lived in a state, such as our own Borderers lived in, five hundred years ago, in violence and in strife, and whose descendants live so still; yet how exquisitely pathetic are many of their poems, and how high souled and benevolent their sentiments and ideas! Inhabiting a fine country, with grand and lofty mountains, and green and fertile valleys, but with nought more than the bare necessaries of life attainable, how simple and how perfect are their similes, and how true to nature! What a patriotic ardour; what a true spirit of freedom, and a love of country, much of their poetry displays!

  Rome, October 999: the young emperor Otto III holds court on the Aventine and dreams of restoring the city of the Caesars, while Crescentius, Senator of Rome, prepares his third rising against German rule. Between them move Benilo, the emperor's cynical Grand Chamberlain, who is the slave of the courtesan Theodora, and Stephania, the Senator's beautiful wife, whom Crescentius asks to beguile the enemy he cannot beat in the field. The rising is only the prelude; the enchantment outlasts it. Nathan Gallizier wrote a series of romances of the Italian dark ages; Otto, Crescentius, Stephania and the hermit Nilus are all in the chronicles, and so is the legend that the emperor's love for the Senator's wife was the death of him. Fifty-four plates, from Piranesi's vaulted Prisons to Caravaggio's Fortune Teller, give the dark streets and dungeons of tenth-century Rome their own visual life.
