A Moscow cop is left out in the cold in this "impressive" Edgar Award
winner for Best Mystery Novel ( The Washington Post Book World).
When forced to choose between the law and the party line, Police
Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov has a disturbing tendency to fight for
justice, and that has won him no friends at the Kremlin. Now his
enemies in the KGB have arranged a transfer to the lowest rungs of
Moscow law enforcement, a backwater department assigned to only the
most hopeless cases, one of which is about to take Rostnikov deep into
Siberia. A corrupt commissar has been stabbed through the eye with
an icicle. A murder at this level should be a top priority, but
Rostnikov gets the distinct impression that the powers-that-be would
prefer this case go unsolved—and that Rostnikov not survive this
Siberian winter. "As always, Kaminsky provides a colorful, tightly
written mystery . . . filled with twists, countertwists, and a
surprise ending that is plausible and clever." — Chicago Tribune
