4.9/5 (9318 ratings)

Description:The Wheel of Justice unfolds the gripping story of an American businessman caught in the dangerous maze of Russian politics and Soviet-influenced laws...as Russia struggles desperately to reinvent its future. Brad Chapman, an enterprising Minnesotan who lives with his family in an American enclave just outside Moscow, views Russia as a land of unlimited opportunity. JorSov, the joint venture he's formed with the Russians to rebuild the postal system, has been remarkably successful; but in a country that still associates profit with greed and capitalism with crime, the bottom line can be treacherous. When his Russian partner dies in a suspicious fall, Brad is imprisoned and officially charged with the theft of state property. Those in secret spheres of power consider him guilty of owning a profitable business - an offense that can lead, unofficially, to the most serious consequences. Chapman's attorney, Alex Fall, is an American whose love for Russia is tempered by his wariness of Russian justice. Knowing that only a Russian lawyer admitted to the courts may represent a defendant in a criminal case, Alex turns to his old friend Mikhail Slavin...a man who carries his own secret burden from Stalinist times. Slavin's vast erudition and innocent air conceal an artful strategist who understands that "nyevozmozhno" - not possible - merely connotes the opening of negotiations in Russia. Slavin counsels patience. But Chapman's patience disappears when he learns that only his Russian lawyer may review his case documents and the evidence, until they are presented in court - where a professional judge and two People's Assessors preside, without a jury. The imperturbable Slavin moves swiftly, enlisting a vital ally in the Russian legislature. A sub-committee of the Supreme Soviet is holding anti-corruption hearings - a campaign that could have disastrous consequences for Brad Chapman. The chairperson, Inna Korneva, is a woman of passionate principles, Alex Fall's former lovWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
