Sag Harbor, NY (PRWEB) April 15, 2006 -- Take a cache of diamond studded eggs, add a dollop of Russian Mafia, KGB, FBI -- blend with panache -- and you have the ingredients of a gem of a mystery. Author Boris Riskin has done just that and serves it up with all the sparkle of the House of Faberge. A witty and clver read, says best selling author, Vincent Lardo.

Life gets scrambled fast after Jake Wanderman, Shakespeare maven extraordinaire, decides to quit teaching. First, his wife leaves him without telling him why. Says if he can't figure it out himself he deserves to be alone. Next, his best friend asks him to help a glamorous widow with her new problems. He agrees and finds himself the object of the widow's attentions. It turns out that seduction is the least of his problems. The widows late husband was a cap in the Russian Mafia and had in his possession a bevy of stole Faberge eggs. Lots of people are after the treasure and Jake wishes he could get out of the whole thing but it is too late.

Forced to deal with the widow, the Russian Mafia, the KGB, the FBI and the NYPD, Jake must not only survive while quoting appropriate lines from Shakespeare, but win his wife back at the same time.
