Hider, Seeker, Secret Keeper

Product Description

Lana Dukovskaya has spent her life in her mother, Marina's, shadow, and nowhere more so than at Russia's world-famous Bolshoi ballet, where Marina danced years ago. But when Daniela, Lana's friend and chief rival, is brutally attacked on the eve of a New York tour, Lana is given her coveted solo-an unlikely stroke of luck that makes Lana the chief suspect in the attack. Once in New York, Lana meets Georgi Levshik, a powerful Russian UmigrU who claims to know the truth about Marina's past. She's torn between her distrust of Levshik's offered patronage and her need for answers. But when another young dancer is struck down on the day of her debut, Lana becomes the prime suspect in not one, but two attacks. On the run and still in the dark, Lana puts her trust in Levshik's alluring young bodyguard, Roma. Together they must uncover the truth about a Bolshoi blood feud involving three generations of Dukovskaya dancers.Lana Dukovskaya has spent her life in her mother, Marina's, shadow, and nowhere more so than at Russia's world-famous Bolshoi ballet, where Marina danced years ago.
