A marvelous crime thriller set in late Soviet Union Moscow rich in characters, suspense & intrigue. The cities chief homicide detective, Arkady Renko, is called in on a high profile triple murder that the powers that be don't want to see probed to thoroughly. But Renko's investigation leads him to a rich, well connected, and apparently ruthless, American fur dealer as his prime suspect, and despite interference from the KGB, FBI and American & Russian police officials, he relentlessly pursues the case to its impolitic conclusion.
