Book Description
In 1986, because of Secretary General Gorbachev's "glasnost" policies, an ever increasing number of cases of bribery, embezzlement and other economic crimes surface throughout the Soviet Union. Many high-level government officials are already in a gulag because of their alleged involvement in the Uzbek Cotton Affair, where millions of rubles have mysteriously disppeared. Now, together with the money problem, nuclear scientists start to disappear. Investigator Colonel Vladimir Antonovich is tasked to stop the flow of nuclear scientists, whether they are voluntary or otherwise. As part of a special committee, Vladimir prepares a trap to catch the bureaucrat(s) that might be involved. Before it is over, many on the special committee are dead, and more scientists have been kidnapped, including Aleksandra, Vladimir's wife, who is also a nuclear scientist. World leaders are frightened by the prospect of nuclear scientists ending up in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan or other countries where terrorists seek mass-destruction capabilities. Colonel Antonovich forms a tiger team, and rushes for the Sheremetyevo airport, where he suspects his wife and other scientists are being held. The question now is, will he get to them before they are shipped out of country for good?

Book Description
From the author of the Booker Prize winning Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, a bold, haunting novel about the uncertainty of memory and how we contend with the past. "It's his bravest novel yet; it's also, by far, his best." -- npr.org “The closest thing he’s written to a psychological thriller."– The New York Times Book Review Just moved into a new apartment, alone for the first time in years, Victor Forde goes every evening to Donnelly’s for a pint, a slow one. One evening his drink is interrupted. A man in shorts and a pink shirt comes over and sits down. He seems to know Victor’s name and to remember him from secondary school. His name is Fitzpatrick. Victor dislikes him on sight, dislikes, too, the memories that Fitzpatrick stirs up of five years being taught by the Christian Brothers. He prompts other memories—of Rachel, his beautiful wife who became a celebrity, and of Victor’s own small claim to fame, as the man who would say the unsayable on the radio. But it’s the memories of school, and of one particular brother, that Victor cannot control and which eventually threaten to destroy his sanity. Smile has all the features for which Roddy Doyle has become famous: the razor-sharp dialogue, the humor, the superb evocation of adolescence, but this is a novel unlike any he has written before. When you finish the last page you will have been challenged to reevaluate everything you think you remember so clearly.

Book Description
After surrendering to the Red Army in 1945, Irma sets out on a trail of self-preservation, falsehoods her only defence. While waiting for Russian justice a Colonel takes an interest in the young woman, first despatching her on a hellish journey to a Siberian Gulag, before conversely saving her from the gallows and taking her under his wing. Love? Lust? Intrigue? Reason falls below Anatoly Kuznetsov’s motives, and the couple form a loose partnership, he with his goals, Irma with hers. Appointed by Stalin to battle the growing gang culture (The Bratva), Anatoly enrolls Irma, changing her name to Nikita Ivanov, to hide her from the war crimes investigators, where the woman in the company of her comrade Johanna Wolf, offer a creative ability to the guerrilla warfare they find themselves engaged in. While Anatoly pursues Irma’s history, the woman haunted by an old man, cuts a future while fending off the truth of her past. Only Johanna knows that truth, and the girl proves just as evasive as Irma.
