Work in Progress

Here's an overview of my work in progress (or WIP as the Literati In The Know like to say):

Title: Undertow 
Genre: Thriller
Status: 100% (Looking for an agent)
Overview: 

After fashioning herself into one of the richest and most powerful woman in Russia, Masha Bogdanov orchestrates the greatest deal of her life, but her relationship with quirky young Daria Poplawski threatens to ruin everything.

When beautiful, brilliant, and utterly depressed Masha Lagunov marries Boris Bogdanov, a high-prince of the Russian oligarchy, she embarks on a journey to fulfill her dreams. The voyage takes her from the swirling backwaters of Russian organized crime to the shores of Lake Michigan, where she arranges a lucrative deal with Chicago Mafioso Bernie Matteo. But that is not Masha’s only reason for traveling to America.

Daria Poplawski, her dad unjustly sentenced to federal prison courtesy of Matteo, temporarily lives at the beach with her adoptive mom. Besides Masha, their acquaintances include a drifter who takes an inordinate interest in Daria, an ice cream clerk with a secret, and a middle-aged man who appears at the most unsettling moments. More chillingly, Masha’s competitors lurk in the shadows.

Someone abducts Daria. Matteo’s men, Masha’s enemies, law enforcement, and others all scramble to find her first. Just as the FBI locates her, new assailants steal her from the kidnappers. Masha knows more than she is telling, but the truth will send her to prison, or worse. She must choose between her personal aspirations and Daria’s safety. Either way, waves from Masha’s past may drown them all.
