A review by jeanetterenee
Moscow Rules by Daniel Silva

3.0

Pretty good story. I was due for a little espionage and international intrigue. Silva includes a lot of stuff that is close to reality, which makes the story a little more edgy and also disturbing. It's sad to know that the Russian people are not really much better off or more "free" since the fall of communism. (Except that they are allowed to leave the country now.)
I'd heard things about the Russian "mafia" and the oligarchy that presides since capitalism swept in, and also about the underground arms trading. Maybe more than we want to know if we want to sleep at night.
