About This Book
SHE IMPERSONATES A LASCIVIOUS FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD PROSTITUTE, but in reality A Hu-Li is something far more unusual -- a two-thousand-year-old shape-shifting werefox from ancient China. Hypnotizing men to absorb their life force isn't the worst way to make a buck in Moscow these days, but for all her spiritual sophistication she's a little hung up about still being a virgin. But in Alexander, a Wagner-addicted werewolf who's the key figure in Russia's Big Oil, A Hu-Li appears to have met her match. Or has she bitten off much more than she can chew this time around?
Both a paranormal love story and an outrageously funny send-up of modern Russia, this stunning and ingenious work of the imagination is the sharpest novel to date from a wildly gifted literary malcontent.
