Ukrainian Nights

"One page in, I couldn't stop reading Pete Carlson's debut novel UKRAINIAN NIGHTS. Suddenly this year's impeachment hearings made sense. I half-expected Rudy or Lev and Igor to stroll through the pages and end up bloody. I'll never put gas in my car, read the New York Times or hear a Russian accent on the streets of New York quite the same way. A fun read. Give me more.

-John Wirth, Executive Producer/Showrunner: "Wu Assassins"; "Hap and Leonard"; "Hell on Wheels"; "The Sarah Connor Chronicles"

"Carlson has written a masterpiece of a debut novel, Ukrainian Nights, and his gifted pen takes us on a roller coaster ride through love, betrayal, and corruption in New York City and Kiev after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Full of incredible twists and turns, Carlson's story is infused with uncanny knowledge of Ukrainian politics and culture, which was not only intriguing but kept me guessing until the very end--which was well after my normal bedtime!"

-Ward Brehm

"Riveting! Carlson put me in a vice-grip of deception, intrigue, star-crossed love and double cross, and then continued to squeeze harder page after page. I had no idea where he was taking me and was shocked at where I ended up. Today's breathless daily news accounts of political intrigue have nothing on Ukrainian Nights."
