This book has something for everyone. A little sci-fi in that it's set in the future, a little murder mystery/police procedural, a little political thriller, and it's set in Russia, so there's exoticism as well.

As the back copy of this book indicates, the story is clearly in the tradition of Gorky Park. Read that book? Then this one's for you. It's a fairly quick read, has approachable characters, and is a fun and interesting story. But if you're not a fan of mystery and political intrigue mixing into your science fiction, this is not for you.
