“Kaminsky gets Russia right, and Cuba right, but best of all he gets
his superb cop Rostnikov altogether right yet another time. Bravo!”
—Ed McBain The Soviet Union is dead, and Russian society has been
fractured into a thousand pieces. Through those cracks seeps the first
serial killer in the country’s history, whose exploits send Moscow
into a frenzy. As his colleagues hunt for the pipe-wielding maniac
who’s killed forty women so far, police inspector Porfiry Rostnikov
must depart for Havana to avoid an international incident. First,
Rostnikov must confront his fear of flying—or more specifically,
flying on Russian airplanes. Assuming he lands safely in Havana, this
case will require the utmost diplomacy. A Russian politician is
accused of murdering a young Cuban woman. Rostnikov’s superiors want
things wrapped up cleanly and quickly. Unfortunately, their man in
Havana is about to discover there is nothing simple about this murder.
“In a style reminiscent of Martin Cruz Smith in Gorky Park,
Kaminsky effectively transplants the police procedural to the fertile
ground of ‘democratic’ Russia, where it blossoms anew . . . An
excellent novel.” —Booklist
