the novikova project

The sudden and mysterious death of her father leads Lucya Novikova into a tangled web of vice, deceit, crime, depravity, corruption, war and revenge. Though she has secrets of her own, none are as deadly as the one she will find out, and the new life it will bring to her.

Set in the Russian neighborhood of Brighton Beach to the outskirts of the Southamptons and the Garden State, this read is guaranteed to be colourful yet macabre. Those opposed to strong language and graphic imagery should stay away. :)

(This novel inspired in part by Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky and the Sopranos, as well as a general interest in Russian culture and lifestyles. I hope it is as appreciable to you as it is to me. And oh yes, before I forget, thank you Rolling Stones, for sounding so inspirational while I write...)
