O ovoj e-knjizi
GETTING RICH IS THE EASY PART...
1990s Russia. Following the demise of the Soviet Union, the newly established Russian government is privatising its industries. The people have the chance to become shareholders in a capitalist future.
The state has issued vouchers that can be exchanged for shares. For the many citizens living in abject poverty, these are little more than scrap paper. But for one American businessman and his Czech companion, they suggest a lucrative opportunity. The pair travel the icy length of Russia, roving from town to town with suitcases full of cash to buy as many as they can.
But their plan is not as simple as it seems. The system of trading vouchers for shares is set up to deter profit-hungry outsiders. And when the Russian mafia and newly powerful oligarchs hear of their successes, the stakes suddenly become deadly...
The Siberia Job charts a course through one of the most dramatic periods in recent Russian history. Perfect for fans of Martin Cruz Smith, Joseph Kanon and Kathleen Kent.

'One of the most original, well-written, and best-plotted post-Cold War stories I've read in years.' Nelson DeMille
