Another excellent read in this series. Arkady has his old job back as an investigator in Moscow but the city is going through some major changes along with the rest of the country. A great look at the Soviet Union during the early nineties.
I really like the main character of Arkady but this one didn't entirely work for me.

But overall, I wasn't happy with it, there was something vital missing in it, and while I was happy to read another Renko novel, this one didn't work for me. Three and a half stars rounded up to four.For the com...

Arkady Renko turns up in Cuba this time, and in the sweltering heat of Havana has to figure out why a Russian agent turned up dead. Lots of suspense, surprises, and a truly unique setting made this one a page turner for me. A definite keeper for me. For a more complete review, please go here:http://...
