A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK - "A cut-throat Russian businessman, two ruthlessly ambitious and beautiful young women and a scheme to make unlimited amount of cash--and voilà, you're caught up in the momentum of a great story. . . . Magnificent." --The New York Times

"The Same River Twice is the tale of beautiful losers living on the edge. . . . [A] lushly cinematic mystery . . . for the highbrow set--those who take their thrillers with a dash of art history." --Minneapolis Star-Tribune

Odile Mével is a French clothing designer, her American husband, Max, an independent filmmaker. When Odile agrees to buy a selection of ceremonial May Day banners in the Soviet Union and deliver the contraband to Paris she earns a new job description: smuggler.

Soon her fellow courier disappears, her apartment is ransacked, and her friend's houseboat is firebombed. While Max has no inkling of Odile's dealings, he finds himself embroiled in a baffling film world mystery of his own. As their escapades deepen and their deceptions multiply, Odile and Max discover their secrets are connected--endangering not only their marriage but their lives.
