Brotherhood: Part Two: 2

Brighton Beach, 2008. Konstantin Spektor comes home from ten years in prison with two hundred dollars, a duffel bag, and one promise to himself: he is done being nobody's bastard. He was always the half-brother the Gutmans kept off the family photographs, the one who did the work and took the fall while the name and the money went to trueborn sons. Now his younger brother Aleksey runs all of Brighton Beach, and he welcomes Kostya home with open arms and a real offer: come in from the cold, take a seat at the table, get rich without the blood. For any other man it would be enough. But Kostya doesn't want a seat at the table. He wants the name over the door, said out loud, and he has never once in his life learned to wait for a thing he wants. What he reaches for instead will cost him a war he cannot win, the one woman who ever truly loved him, and a brother who turns out to be colder, and further ahead, than anyone alive. BROTHERHOOD: PART TWO is the second novel in the Brotherhood series. A slow-burn tragedy of two brothers and the one seat at the table only one of them can have.
