RUSSIAN DOLLS Blurb
Alexandra Neve is a
student at University College London whose world suddenly falls apart. When her
best friend jumps from the university’s rooftop, she can’t stop herself from
asking, ‘Why?’ The police rule her friend’s death a suicide and for them the
case is closed — so to whom can she turn for help?
Sometimes the person
you need the most is the one you least expect to find, and in this case it’s
none other than Ashford Egan, a blind middle-aged history professor, who’s more
willing than most to listen to what she has to say.
Neve and Egan are as
different as they come. She’s restless, careless at times, and fearless when
the need arises, while he’s almost the complete opposite: a deep thinker with
an analytical mind, a highly rational and collected individual.
As they enter the
violent world of the Russian mafia, they must overcome their differences and
learn to work together. It’s their only chance if they want to survive.
RUSSIAN DOLLS Excerpt
Life, death. Two concepts,
two words.
You don’t think about
them unless you’re forced to. You take the first for granted and try to forget
the second.
You get on with your
life, worry about meaningless things and you simply stop thinking about death,
even though you see it every day on the telly, in the papers you read.
So long as it’s
happening to others, you continue to go on with this comforting lie that
says it’s never going to happen to you. The Reaper won’t come anywhere
near you — until the day he does.
It could be a car crash,
it could be a stroke. Or it could be your best friend jumping from the rooftop
of the university you both attend. And suddenly you remember that death is very
real and there’s no way of knowing who is going to be called next. You’re forced
to face the frailty of life and accept your own mortality.
My best friend recently passed away and I almost
died twice myself in the past couple of weeks. My name is Alexandra Neve. I’m a
student who used to live in a reassuring bubble. It burst, and now I finally
see the world for what it truly is.
