The Russian Factor

Two women, one planet, incredible odds!

The online appearance of Anna, the rebellious daughter of Russian syndicate higher-ups, lands intelligence contractor, Jessica Ducat, a job in Kiev, Ukraine. But when Anna’s headstrong behavior destroys the operation, the only way to curtail the collateral damage is by fleeing with Anna through Ukraine to Turkey and across several seas.

Hampered by Anna’s Russian passport, tagged as belonging to a terrorist, and aided by a mysterious American, Jess uses ingenuity to overcome obstacles encountered en route to safety in the west. She fights for a young woman’s life against a backdrop of post Orange Revolution political unrest in Ukraine, relentless pursuers, and even nature itself. Rooted in actual events, the action is enmeshed in Russian politics, corruption and syndicate activity.
