BOOK-SCANDAL. This is a tale of intrigue surrounding an antique rug, which, legend has it, is the famed 'Shah Abbas' rug that had stirred heated debate across the three continents: in Europe, Asia and America . Some experts insist that it is a Turkish rug, others believe it to be Persian. This debate has come to involve representatives of major museums, appraisal firms, auction houses Christie's and Sotheby's, as well as international legal experts, the mafia and the FBI.

The book also tells the story of Otabek Teshabekov - an Uzbek businessman who documents exposing purpetrators of fraud, taking part in conspiracies and intrigue on an international scale. A masterful tale of suspense where the East vs. the West.
