Acerca de este título
Enthralling, atmospheric, and suspenseful, Stray Dog Winter is at once an unconventional Cold War thriller and an original, unforgettable love story set in 1980s Moscow.
Darcy, a restless young artist, travels to the Soviet Union to visit his elusive half-sister, Fin. Together only briefly during their youth, Darcy and Fin are estranged by the distance between them, yet inextricably bound by the secrets and betrayals of their childhood.
Upon his arrival in the depths of a bleak Moscow winter, Darcy is immediately embroiled in Fin's mysterious life there and also drawn to Moscow's forbidden underground, finding himself swept up in political and sexual intrigues of a nature he could never have imagined.
As the past resurfaces and the present closes in, the intricacies of their bond as brother and sister are revealed, and Darcy uncovers Fin's involvement in a dangerous game of her own. Their worlds threaten to collide with profound and deadly consequences.
With Stray Dog Winter, David Francis has entered Graham Greene territory, placing a naive hero in the center of political intrigue and betrayal at the end of the Cold War. Written with a stark, haunting beauty, this novel is pure Soviet noir, a remarkable tale of love, passion, politics, identity, and espionage.
©2008 David Francis (P)2008 Audible, Inc.Reseñas de la crítica
"Elegantly written and grippingly suspenseful, David Francis's Stray Dog Winter takes readers right into the heart of Graham Greene country." (Janet Fitch, author of White Oleander and Paint It Black)
"David Francis may not be a poet, but he sure writes like one. His prose is lean but dreamy, full of sensual detail - done with skill and elegance." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"Stray Dog Winter contains the ingredients of a classic thriller, but Francis invests these elements with a resonance that ranges beyond social commentary and genre play." (Los Angeles Magazine)
"Australian narrator David Kirwan gives a performance that will generate feelings of sadness, shock, and joy in his listeners....Kirwan's characters are well rounded, and he uses no forced accents, just the simplicity of prose in its purest form." (AudioFile)
