Moscow Traffic: An International thriller
Autor Dr. Juliette Engelen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 dec 2023
Russian History told as a romance wrapped in a crime thriller.
Moscow Traffic is an international thriller that exposes the roots of a vast Russian human trafficking network through the eyes of Seattle forensic psychologist Peter Stone as he travels to Moscow in search of his missing lover, opera star Caroline Luke. Her empty coffin and passport have arrived at SeaTac airport with Russian documents declaring her dead. Without a body, neither American or Russian police will investigate further, which forces his decision to leave his comfortable life in Seattle and plunge head-first into the perverse world of international organized crime and human trafficking.
On his hero's journey, Peter crosses paths with victims, perpetrators, buyers, sellers, saints, ghosts and thieves as the borders of morality and reality blur in a society tormented by its past and fearful of the future. Peter finds himself spinning out of control as he confronts the mystery of his own family's twisted past and its role in the crime that has caused so much pain to Caroline. In a world where nothing is what it seems and only the most adaptable survive, Peter and Caroline must undergo the unearthing of long-hidden secrets that threatens their future.

Recenzii
2) “MOSCOW TRAFFIC is a stunning achievement. Juliette Engel is a lovely writer and puts the reader in the midst of an action-filled, twisted plot but also gives a tactile, sensitive view of Russian people and their lives. This is a history of the Russian mafia that readers of historical fiction, true crime and thrillers will love.”
3) “I feel like I have eaten my way across Russia – that is when I wasn’t holding my breath as the plot of MOSCOW TRAFFIC twisted and thrilled in every chapter.”
4) “History and current events wrapped up in a thriller about human trafficking and crime in Russia. What could be better a better read than this winner of the 7th annual San Diego Writers Conference Prize for Best Fiction.”
5) “The secret to sharing the history of an exotic country like Russia with American readers is to write it as a thriller that will hold their interest. Juliette Engel has a unique ability to write both fiction and non-fiction and to make them equally thrilling. MOSCOW TRAFFIC is a great read by a notable new writer.”
