Every bit as dazzling, \u003ci\u003eThe Unpossessed City\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers into the Wild East that is Russia today. There we meet Jim Vilatzer--an American expat whose Russian language skills land him a job interviewing former inmates of the Gulag and ensnare him in a web of deceit involving the CIA, Russia's Interior Ministry, and Central Asian arms dealers selling the most dangerous technologies to the highest bidder. From its brooding portrayal of Moscow to its riveting pace, \u003ci\u003eThe Unpossessed City\u003c\/i\u003e is an atmospheric triumph in the tradition of Donna Leon's novels of Venice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eJon Fasman was born in Chicago in 1975 and grew up in Washington, D.C.
