But when Alexei abruptly disappears, Lydia is left alone, penniless in Soviet Russia.<br/><br/> All seems lost, but Chang An Lo has not forgotten Lydia. He knows things about her father that she does not. And while he races to protect her, she is prepared to risk treacherous consequences to discover the truth.]]>
