Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Wilmers looks into the fascinating past of her family, which includes a KGB killer (who, coincidentally, was in Mexico when Trotsky was assassinated), a psychoanalyst who was friends with Freud, and a fur dealer who was imprisoned by the Bolsheviks and questioned by the FBI.

Publisher's description:

Leonid Eitingon was a KGB killer. Max Eitingon was a colleague of Freud's. Motty Eitingon was a New York fur dealer whose connections with the Soviet Union made him the largest trader in the world. The author, who began looking into aspects of this family, also throws light into some of the darkest corners of the last century.
