A Moscow cop is left out in the cold in this “impressive” Edgar
Award winner for Best Mystery Novel (The Washington Post Book World).
When forced to choose between the law and the party line, Police
Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov has a disturbing tendency to fight for
justice, and that has won him no friends at the Kremlin. Now his
enemies in the KGB have arranged a transfer to the lowest rungs of
Moscow law enforcement, a backwater department assigned to only the
most hopeless cases, one of which is about to take Rostnikov deep into
Siberia. A corrupt commissar has been stabbed through the eye with
an icicle. A murder at this level should be a top priority, but
Rostnikov gets the distinct impression that the powers-that-be would
prefer this case go unsolved—and that Rostnikov not survive this
Siberian winter. “As always, Kaminsky provides a colorful,
tightly written mystery . . . filled with twists, countertwists,
and a surprise ending that is plausible and clever.” —Chicago
