Held by the Vor Syndicate

Irina Dragunova has read the Vor Syndicate's real books, and the real books have her name in the margin. When Don Kazimir Vor finds her in a parking garage with forty photographed pages, he doesn't kill her. He takes her north, to a dacha with one road and no signal, because the ledger she stole names a traitor in his own family — and she's the only person alive who's read all of it. Days become weeks. She rebuilds the trail from memory while he watches her work, and the traitor grows nervous enough to send men up the mountain. Now the only person Irina trusts is the man holding her captive. She has one chance to leave with a new name, or stay and take his.
