THE SALSA CONNECTION has
already won the Royal Palm Literary
Award for best thriller.
The story moves
from the salsa
clubs of St. Petersburg, Russia
to New York to Louisiana and, finally,
to Italy. The red-hot
thread of the dance runs through a novel that explores the Russian mob, slavery and prostitution rings, and the art world,
as well as love, loss,
revenge and the strength of family ties.
When Nickolay Panov
left St Petersburg, Russia to go to
New York City for an international ballet competition 25 years ago, he was considered one of the best ballet
dancers in Russia.
The Americans say he
was murdered. The Russians say he defected. In any case,
he never returned. Just before Nickolay disappeared, several priceless paintings and icons from a
major museum were stolen. While
he was accused of the theft, no solid proof has ever been offered to tie him to it. However, evidence
shows that the stolen goods were shipped
to America. The CIA and the Russian
Government are still pursuing
all leads connected to the heist,
and so is the Russian
mafia.Sveta was three years
old when her father disappeared, so it's a shock when, in
the mail, she receives an invitation to a salsa
dance competition in New
York. At the bottom
of the invitation is a note: "Please come to the competition
and enter, my little
lady." No one but her father
has ever called
her that. Why has her father surfaced
after all these
years? Sveta wants
answers, even if it
means entering the late-night, sultry
world of salsa
dancing in St Petersburg
and New York City and coming
into uncomfortably close
contact with the Russian mob.
