Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
While Chief Insp. Porfiry Petrovich Rostnikov isn't as well developed a character as, say, Martin Cruz Smith's Arkady Renko, he's still one of the better contemporary examples of an honest policeman navigating the shoals of a corrupt society, as shown in the strong 15th Rostnikov novel from MWA Grand Master Kaminsky (after 2001's Murder on the Trans-Siberian Express). As maneuvering within the Moscow police force threatens the survival of Rostnikov's department, the Office of Special Investigations, his boss, Igor the Yak Yaklovev, orders him to look into the possible murder of Luc O'Neil, a Canadian geologist who died in a Siberian diamond mine rumored to be haunted by ghosts. O'Neil's death may be part of a series, which includes the torture-murders of two black South Africans found in a Moscow cemetery. The particularly high stakes make this one of Rostnikov's more exciting investigations. Hopefully, fans won't have to wait as long for his next outing. (Sept.)

Review
Praise for the Inspector Rostnikov series:
“Kaminsky works up plenty of sweaty-palmed suspense of the best sort, built out of equal parts of likeable characters and believable dangers.”
--Washington Post Book World on Red Chameleon
“Kaminsky takes care not to rob the beleaguered cops of their human core--a courtesy he also extends to Moscow, which comes across as a character in its own right, rough and dangerous and somehow tragic.”
--New York Times Book Review on The Dog Who Bit A Policeman
“Marvelous...From the uncertainties [of] modern Russia, Kaminsky continues to craft his crisp and thoughtful series."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
