About Greco’s Game (Aleksandr Talanov Thriller #2)
Colonel Aleksandr Talanov – the “ice man” – is married to a woman he wishes he could love. But he can’t, and it’s an ugly consequence of his training with the KGB. Even so, no one should have to experience what Talanov experiences: the brutal murder of his wife in front of his eyes. Wracked with guilt and suspected of plotting her death, Talanov spirals downward on a path of self-destruction. He should have been killed, not her. He was the one whose violent past would not leave them alone. Months tick by and Talanov hits rock bottom on the mean streets of Los Angeles, where he meets a hooker named Larisa, who drugs and robs him. But in the seedy world of human trafficking ruled by the Russian mafia, Larisa made the mistake of stealing the ice man’s wallet. In it was Talanov’s sole possession of value: his wedding photo. Talanov tracks Larisa down to get that photo because it reminds him of everything that should have been but never was, and never would be because an assassin’s bullet had mistakenly killed his wife. Or was it a mistake? The answer lies in Greco’s Game, a chess match played in 1619 that is famous for its queen sacrifice and checkmate in only eight moves. In an unusual alliance, Talanov and Larisa team up to begin unraveling the mystery of what Talanov’s old KGB chess instructor regarded as the most brilliant example of how to trap and kill an opponent. The question is: who was the target? AUTHOR’S NOTE: Long ago, while working at the famed Los Angeles Union Rescue Mission as a journalist, I interviewed several young women who were victims of human trafficking. I barely knew such a horrific practice existed, but their stories opened my eyes to the reality of this monstrous crime. Having grown up in a family of strong, capable women, my books typically feature kick-ass females who pack as much punch as most men. With Larisa in Greco’s Game, I did something different. I created a strong, capable lead woman who was understated and shy. Why? Because I witnessed that same kind of quiet, triumphant spirit in many of the women I met at the mission’s women’s shelter, Bethel Haven, as well as during my dozens of trips behind the old Iron Curtain as a smuggler. Greco’s Game is therefore a tribute to those quiet, heroic women. ADDITIONAL AUTHOR’S NOTE: I’ve always believed action books need more than non-stop action. Audiences need to connect with the hero. They need to feel what the hero feels and fear what the hero fears, and that comes from some kind of threat to the people he or she loves. Action cannot do that on its own. A love story must reside at the film’s heart, and the future of that love story has to genuinely be in peril. That story is Greco’s Game.
