Lust . . . Nowhere on Earth is the very essence of the word nurtured, encouraged, and exploited more than deep inside Sin City. With billions of dollars flowing across the felt tables and down the seedy gutters of America's black hole of morality, no place could be more inviting, more irresistible, or more welcoming to the dark forces of the Russian mafia than the city whose roots burrow into the desert, beneath the spot where the ground was first cultivated and the seeds first planted by none other than the notorious Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. Russian SVR assassin turned American agent Anya Burinkova must relive the horrors of her training at the hands of her former Soviet masters to claw her way into a terrifying world, where human life is little more than a commodity for sale to the highest bidder in this journey behind the glittering lights, and into the depths of the real Las Vegas few ever see and even fewer survive. The stakes have never been higher, nor the depravity more palpable, than in Anya's latest mission to stop a madman whose birthright was bathed in the endless river of blood pouring from the slain enemies of communism's fallen foes.
