Book Description:
The violent and inexplicable murder of an old man in his bathtub and the theft of a worthless candlestick send Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov on a hunt into the past . . .
A ring of car thieves with a taste for expensive vehicles is at large in Moscow's streets . . .
High above the gray city, a sniper is taking aim at police officers, and the obsessed detective Emil Karpo takes the assignment to heart . . .
"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

I love the way Kaminsky writes. His characters are deliciously predictable making them comforting in the chaos of his tale. I learn a lot about Russia and it's people's mind set. It makes me happy to be American even in today's distressing times. You develop real affection for the characters and sympathy for the dilemma the get into. this one is a great story. Better if you can find an audio.
