Themes of identity, faith, and redemption combine as a
disillusioned KGB assassin and an insecure female U.S. diplomat
track down an Ivy League professor running a prostitution ring in
Ukraine.
Anatoly Filatov is the "whiskey priest," a despairing Communist
true believer, whose world comes crashing down with the collapse of
the USSR. Jane Sweet is the foreign-service officer, a
Ukrainian-American woman who discovers her identity, as both a
woman and a Ukrainian, while liberating herself from her past. The
action heats up as Filatov, who is a part-time hit man for the
Russian Mafia, kills three American professors in Vienna. The
fourth, a cynical Ivy League professor and Soviet emigre, Igor
Bazarov, escapes to Kiev. The four professors stole millions of
dollars from the Mafia and invested in a prostitution ring that
exploits Ukrainian women.
Filatov and Sweet pursue Bazarov throughout Ukraine, and, along
the way, Filatov seduces Sweet. As the two close in on Bazarov,
Sweet realizes she has been used--and plots revenge in a stunning
conclusion.
