The Leningrad Starling is a famed painting--a revered icon believed to have mystical healing powers. It is safely stored in the Hermitage in Leningrag--until it isn't. The priceless painting is stolen, and Paddy Lieber is framed as the culprit. Paddy is a freewheeling entrepreneur and senior partner at Lieber Enterprises, but he certainly is no thief.High-ranking Soviet officials are using Paddy as a pawn in their corrupt game of political and financial intrigue. Hahyoo, security at Lieber Enterprises, seeks to clear Paddy's name, but it's an uphill battle as it soon becomes apparent that maybe there is something mystical in the air. Individual perceptions of magical occurences soon turn to external evidence of the supernatural.Now more than ever, it is imperative that Hahyoo free Paddy and other loved ones before darker forces in Leningrad close in and make their escape impossible. Together, these desperate innocents form an unlikely brigade of ordinary heroes as seemingly random incidents lead to catastrophic consequences for the evil-minded and newfound joy for the deserving few.
