More Description From Novelist and Screenwriter Max A. Goldberg, comes a predictions-turned-reality mystery novel about a self-made tycoon who has a tough choice to make.
An adrenaline-induced journey of suspense set on both sides of the Atlantic, The Cost Of Success takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride from Russia in the late - '80s to one of the largest bubble generators of all time -- present-day Silicon Valley. At the center of the narrative is the life of Victor Krasnov, whom readers first meet as a humble English linguistics student whose coming of age in the late 1980s coincides with historic changes in the former Soviet Union.
The "evil empire" has fallen. On the ashes of the former super-power, Krasnov's star is on the rise. An ambitious go-getter, he keeps pushing the envelope while the iron is still hot. And then, a game-changer. Scarred for life by an assassination attempt that claims the life of the woman he loves and his close friend and bodyguard, Krasnov is out for revenge, looking for the answers into his loved ones' deaths.
A quarter-century later, enormously successful, the jet-setting multi-billionaire VC investor runs one of the largest European high-tech investment funds. Krasnov has everything a man could ever want: a mansion in Monte-Carlo, his own jet, a loving daughter, a beautiful fiancé, and a golden retriever. Problem is, there is a dark side to his picturesque, glamorous life. Presented with an opportunity to exhort revenge and eager to settle an old score, Krasnov finds out that nothing is what it seems.
