(2) YA Hayley's brother John, a demolitions expert, has supposedly died in Siberia. Unconvinced by the explanation that he had gotten trapped while blowing up a building, Hayley and John's fianceé travel to Siberia--and meet up with the Russian mafiya. Alternating chapters follow John, alive but sick and amnesiac. Cross explores an unusual physical landscape in this--as usual--well-crafted thriller.
