The Karamazov Brothers by Fyodor DostoevskySimon & BrownThe Brothers Karamazov is the final novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Dostoyevsky spent nearly two years writing The Brothers Karamazov, which was published as a serial in The Russian Messenger and completed in November 1880. Dostoyevsky intended it to be the first part in an epic story titled The Life of a Great Sinner, but he died fewer than four months after its publication. The Brothers Karamazov is a passionate philosophical novel that explores deep into the ethical debates of God, free will, and morality. It is a spiritual drama of moral struggles concerning faith, doubt, reason, and modern Russia. Dostoyevsky composed much of the novel in Staraya Russa, which is also the main setting of the novel. Since its publication, it has been acclaimed all over the world by thinkers as diverse as Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein,, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Martin Heidegger, and Pope Benedict XVI as one of the supreme achievements in literature.

The stakes are higher . . . the risks are steeper . . . the chances more fatal . . .
Rori Maitland has lived her life the way she’s wanted it. After retiring from MI6, she’s her own woman, few friends, no husband, and that is the way she bloody well prefers it. After all, her job is hardly normal.
Ian Kinncaid, master of disguise, has been estranged from his family for well over a decade. With his deep cover blown, he now needs a safe place to put the little girl he saved from the Czech underground. But the shadows cloak enemies and trust comes at too high a cost.
When Rori’s latest mark goes awry and she finds herself helping the intense man, instead of killing him, she’s thrown into a world she had hoped to leave behind. Now Ian and Rori must work together before someone marks them both for death and kills everyone they both hold dear.
