I'm thinking it was you who told us about it originally. I'm hoping to start it tomorrow while we are having thunder storms. Just curling up on the couch with a cuppa and a good book.

Ever read Under Western Eyes by Joseph Conrad? A political thriller which takes place in St. Petersburg, Russia. Might fill the bill.
