About this listen

In 1922, Shanghai awoke to chilling news: a squadron had sailed into its harbor under the faded flag of a country that no longer existed, the Russian Empire.

Thousands of refugees flooded into China and upended the old order. For decades, European and American colonists had lived in Shanghai like demigods—privileged, untouchable—simply because they were white. Then, almost overnight, a different kind of white foreigner appeared on the streets: penniless, paperless, and desperate. They would take any job and endure any humiliation just to survive.

Klim Rogov lost everything—his noble title, his fame, and his wife, Nina, who vanished without a trace. She was like a fox from a Russian fairy tale: clever, elusive, capable of schemes others wouldn't dare imagine.

Soon, rumors began to swirl. Nina had opened a fake Czechoslovak consulate. She was selling champagne… and perhaps machine guns. Her circle included smugglers and spies. And, apparently, even the Chairman of the Municipal Council.

To renounce her is unthinkable. To forget her, impossible.

With nothing left but his pride and stubborn hope, Klim must rebuild his life from the ground up and uncover the truth about the woman he loves.
