“Never miss a Kaminsky book, and be especially sure not to miss
Death of a Russian Priest.” —Tony Hillerman, New York
Times–bestselling author In the darkest hours of communist rule,
Father Merhum fought to protect the sanctity of the Orthodox Church.
Now the Soviet Union is gone, but the bureaucracy survives, and within
it lurk men who would do anything to undermine the fragile new Russian
democracy. Father Merhum is on his way to Moscow to denounce those
traitors when he is struck with an ax and killed. As police
inspectors Porfiry Rostnikov and Emil Karpo dig into the past of this
celebrated village priest, they uncover strange church secrets and a
conspiracy to carry the vile corruption of the former regime on into
the twenty-first century. But if they don’t watch their steps,
someone may need to say the last rites for them. With the Edgar
Award–winning Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov series, “Stuart Kaminsky
evokes Russian life like a born Muscovite. . . . Don’t miss this
one. It’s even better than his Edgar-winning A Cold Red Sunrise.”
—The Philadelphia Inquirer “Kaminsky moves closer to becoming
the Ed McBain of Mother Russia . . . The usual strengths of the
series—ingenious plotting, solid police procedure, and Rostnikov’s
shrewdly perceptive presence—are joined here by casually effective
glimpses of the old Soviet Union in chancy transition. It all adds up
to Rostnikov’s best outing since A Cold Red Sunrise.” —Kirkus
