This novel traces the steps of a freelance journalist from America who is determined to learn the truth as he and friend Gabby go on a roller-coaster ride, pursuing leads as he investigates the murder of Russian bereaucrat, Vorontsov.

They attend the trial of an American billionaire who had been born in Russia. There had been a connection between the dead man and Michael Rubimau, an American embezzler who is caught shipping two billion of the dirty money to a Baltimore, Maryland, warehouse for money-laundering before it is placed in his bank account.

The cat-and-mouse game takes them through the underworld of modern-day Moscow in Russia, Havana, Cuba, Miami, Florida, and Washington, D.C. Together they track down a Russian expatriate gangster and learns the facts of this espionage,

I liked the beautiful copper onion-domes on the Russian castle-type buildings. I've always loved that architecture but never seen it in person. Russian is a marvelous place, just has been undermined by all the chinary and bereaucracy. This is an interesting story and moves at a fast pace, leaving the reader guessing until the last word.

Greg Dinallo has written some religious books; examples are FINAL ANSWERS, TOUCHED BY FIRE, and BABYLON RISING. Another intriguing book is ROCKETS RED GLARE.

I would have preferred if this book would have been written in invisible ink. Maybe I have read too many books of this genre, but I am beginning to become tired of the much used stereotypes and standard sub plots. The best thing that I can say about the book that it was enough of a story to keep me reading hoping it would pick up and finally I was so far into the book I have to finish it.
