Racing between London, Moscow, Kazakhstan, and the Caymans, this novel unveils a sinister world where the wealthy manipulate justice and silence. Private spy agencies vie for power, governments bow to the highest bidder, and immense fortunes are built through shadowy networks. The true flow of money and the beneficiaries of such corruption remain hidden, often in plain sight. At the heart of this tale is Konstanin Malin, a bureaucrat who secretly controls Russia’s oil industry, amassing wealth while siphoning billions from the state into his offshore empire. His life is intertwined with Richard Lock, a struggling English lawyer whose connections to Malin stem from marriage, greed, and a complex lie. As Lock’s relationships crumble, he begins to realize the fragility of his situation. Meanwhile, Benjamin Webster, a former journalist turned investigator, seeks vengeance for a colleague's murder in Russia. Hired to ruin Malin, Webster uncovers links to his friend’s death and sees Lock as Malin’s vulnerability. As pressure mounts, Lock’s world unravels, leading to mysterious deaths and police inquiries. In a heart-pounding global chase through opulent settings, the story explores themes of power, betrayal, and survival, making it a chilling reflection of our times.

Translation of: The winter of Frankie Machine.

"In this rich and riveting narrative, a writer's search for the truth behind his family's tragic past in World War II becomes a remarkably original epic—part memoir, part reportage, part mystery, and part scholarly detective work—that brilliantly explores the nature of time and memory, family and history. The Lost begins as the story of a boy who grew up in a family haunted by the disappearance of six relatives during the Holocaust—an unmentionable subject that gripped his imagination from earliest childhood. Decades later, spurred by the discovery of a cache of desperate letters written to his grandfather in 1939 and tantalized by fragmentary tales of a terrible betrayal, Daniel Mendelsohn sets out to find the remaining eyewitnesses to his relatives' fates. That quest eventually takes him to a dozen countries on four continents and forces him to confront the wrenching discrepancies between the histories we live and the stories we tell. And it leads him, finally, back to the small Ukrainian town where his family's story began, and where the solution to a decades-old mystery awaits him."--from amazon.com
