Jennifer’s real name, it turned out, was Anya Petrovna. She had been kidnapped from her school in Kiev at the age of sixteen. She had been brought to the United States and essentially imprisoned in a mansion hidden in the Hollywood Hills above Los Angeles. A security guard informed her she was now the property of Mikhail Oblonsky. Oblonsky was a former KGB agent who had gone gangster after the Soviet Union fell. Ultimately, he had taken over the West Coast branch of the Russian mafia.
