In the Edgar Award–winning crime series featuring a veteran Moscow
cop, “Kaminsky evokes Russian life like a born Muscovite” (The
Philadelphia Inquirer). During the widespread corruption of the
Yeltsin era, violent crime has risen in Moscow by 200 to 300 percent,
keeping Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov and his team at the Office of
Special Investigation busier than ever. So it’s fortunate that
having his bad leg amputated six months ago and replaced by a
prosthetic limb has not slowed down the veteran Moscow cop one bit.
Now he’s investigating a hate-fueled crime wave, as a bloodthirsty
gunman wages a campaign to systematically exterminate the city’s
Jews. At the same time, a knife-wielding rapist is running rampant.
Despite the urgent demand to end the mayhem, the inspector finds
himself most intrigued by a centuries-old mystery concerning a
murdered baroness and a priceless golden wolf statue that has been
missing since 1862. Stuart Kaminsky’s long-running, Edgar
Award–winning series has seen his intensely moral Moscow police
inspector through the turbulence of several regimes, and always
“Kaminsky takes care not to rob his beleaguered cops of their human
core” (The New York Times).
