This thrilling crime novel features “the best cop to come out of the
Soviet Union since Martin Cruz Smith’s Arkady Renko” (San
Francisco Examiner). After a lifetime in service to the Soviet
Union, police inspector Porfiry Rostnikov may have found a way out. A
high-profile homicide leads him to a cache of documents packed full of
incriminating Kremlin gossip, which he uses as a bargaining chip to
secure exit visas for himself and his Jewish wife. But just before the
deal is concluded, Brezhnev’s death sends the nation into turmoil,
and makes escape impossible. His career derailed, the veteran cop is
reduced to investigating penny-ante murders—one of which may lead
somewhere very big indeed. An elderly Jewish man is shot to death
in his bathtub by killers who steal nothing but a worthless brass
candlestick. And as the brutal Moscow summer wears on, the police find
themselves the targets of car thieves and snipers. With the help of
his two faithful lieutenants, Karpo and Tkach, Rostnikov needs to find
a way to solve these cases and salvage his good name—if it doesn’t
cost him his life. The Edgar Award–winning Inspector Porfiry
Rostnikov series is one more reason why New York Times–bestselling
author Tony Hillerman says, “Never miss a Kaminsky book.”
