Heads You Win: A Novel

Leningrad, Russia, 1968. Alexander Karpenko's life is changed forever when his father is assassinated by the KGB for defying the state. Alexander and his mother must escape Russia to survive. At the docks, they are confronted with an irreversible choice: a container ship bound for America or one bound for Great Britain. Alexander leaves the choice to the toss of a coin, which results in a double twist that decides his future. The novel follows Alexander through parallel lives, spanning two continents and thirty years: as 'Alex' in New York and 'Sasha' in London. Alex makes his mark in the business world, while Sasha attends Oxford and becomes involved in politics. As the unique story unfolds, both come to realize that to find their destiny, they must face the past they left behind in Russia, leading to a collision of the two storylines. The book is an epic tale of fate and fortune that culminates in a final twist intended to shock even the most ardent fans.
