Auctioneer

Volkov Syndicate, Book 1

Three years ago, Alexei Volkov was given the keys to the Syndicate's auction house.As pakhan, he runs it the way he runs everything - with precision, restraint, and a brother who has always been the most volatile thing in the room. Vladislav, Alexei’s younger brother and enforcer, watches too closely as he always has. Their father's old card games still gather around the same table, and the men who play remember when the name Volkov meant something more openly dangerous than what stands in front of them now. And in a backroom, Subject 1-A - no longer nameless - is keeping a record of her own.Nothing goes unnoticed. Every score is kept. If debts can't be collected, they go to the stage where names become numbers. Either way, the House always wins.When a Syndicate warehouse goes up in flames and the trail leads back to Alexei's own card table, his control begins to fracture. The people closest to him start paying the price.
There is more on the auction block than dignity.Auctioneer is the first full-length entry in the Volkov Syndicate - multi-POV literary dark crime in the tradition of Don Winslow and Pauline Réage.
