A Moscow cop juggles cases of kidnapping, murder, and a missing
Czarist-era document in a modern-day mystery with “never a dull
moment” (Library Journal). In the waning days of the Russian Empire,
the Czar inked a secret treaty with Japan that was stolen en route by
one of the workmen on the Trans-Siberian Railway. More than a one
hundred years later, the Soviet Union has gone the way of the Czardom,
and police inspector Porfiry Rostnikov is trying to find his way in
the Russia of Vladimir Putin. A large amount of money is being sent
from Odessa to Vladivostok to purchase a mysterious Czarist document,
and Rostnikov’s superior believes it may be this long-lost treaty.
Eastbound ticket in hand, Rostnikov sets out to investigate.
Meanwhile, his subordinates in Moscow tackle a female Jack the Ripper
and an anti-Semitic punk rocker whose mob connections may have gotten
him kidnapped. It’s a brave new world in western Russia, but where
Rostnikov is going, the landscape hasn’t changed in centuries.
