Chinese Summary/中文概要： 「在俄國沒有淒美愛情故事，也沒有勵志商業故事，只有真實犯罪故事！」
一段在宜人秋天誕生的關係，經過冬天嚴寒冰雪覆蓋後，唯有等污雪褪去後才能看清事實的真相！
Nick Platt是位在俄國莫斯科工作的英國律師。當時正值俄國石油工業大崛起，許多億萬富豪因石油而誕生。Nick的工作便是替這些暴發戶們與政府部門打交道。在一個宜人九月天他在地鐵裡認識了兩位宣稱是姊妹Masha及Katya，並在接著一個禮拜後透過她們認識了她們在莫斯科擁有多筆房產阿姨Tatiana Vladimirovna。而他當時正處理一件與哥薩克人有關的棘手案件，將南下到黑海再北上到北極圈，這途中不僅讓整個案情的內幕逐漸水落石出，更將他的愛人Masha及自己深藏內心的秘密引爆出來…
在這個看似一個主角在俄國與當地人所發生的簡單故事，而主角因從事的工作危急到自己道德良知，面臨抉擇的關頭，但也意外呈現出整個俄國因貪污盛行、風紀腐敗、金錢至上等多重壓迫下的新面貌。(Vincent)

Review
’A tremendously assured, cool, complex, slow-burn of a novel and a bleak and superbly atmospheric portrait of modern Russia.’---William Boyd

’A tremendously assured, cool, complex, slow-burn of a novel and a bleak and superbly atmospheric portrait of modern Russia.’ ---William Boyd

`An irresistible, sophisticated and compelling thriller of darkly delicious Russian corruption and decadence by a writer who truly understands where the corpses lie buried under the pure Russian snows.’ ---Simon Sebag Montefiore

`A chilling first novel about the slide from relative innocence into amorality. I love the honesty of the writing, and the way the furious cold of a bitter Moscow winter gradually emerges as a character in its own right.’ ---Julie Myerson

`Miller’s taut narrative is a deft mixture of suspense, intrigue and human tragedy. Romantic love, bad faith, self-delusion, cupidity and corruption are fatally entwined in a novel that brilliantly conveys the tawdriness of life in the underbelly of modern Moscow.’ ---Jonathan Dimbleby

’Miller’s superbly atmospheric debut novel... Elegantly written, and spot on its detail.’---Observer
