Robespierre Pravdin is a black marketeer who prowls Moscow's streets  and alleys hustling wristwatches. Wishing only to survive in a city  suffocated by paranoia and schizophrenia, Robespierre manages to make a  tidy profit and stay under the state's radar-until, one day, he meets  the woman called \"Mother Russia\" and becomes ensnared in the Byzantine  and profoundly dangerous game of politics. This is another darkly  engrossing pageturner from the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Sisters\u003c\/i\u003e  and \u003ci\u003eThe Defection of A. J.
