Description:
<DIV><B>In an era of financial free-for-all in Russia, a Moscow cop deals with rampant crime in a &ldquo;terrific&rdquo; and &ldquo;exceptional&rdquo; police drama (<I>Detroit Free Press</I>).</B><BR /> &#160;<BR /> It&rsquo;s the mid-nineties, and capitalism and privatization have come to Russia. As the trickle of cash turns to a torrent, bureaucrats become oligarchs, and the brutal Russian mafia is on the rise. Newfound democracy has not reduced the crime rate, and Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov, a forty-year veteran of the Moscow police department, and his colleagues have their hands full.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> A prominent businessman is kidnapped in broad daylight. Three children&mdash;as innocent looking as they are savage&mdash;terrorize a slum. And a house full of Czarist treasures is raided by tax police&mdash;only to have every piece vanish the following day.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> As criminals at all levels rush to exploit a system in confusion, &ldquo;Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov is a rarity among policemen: shrewd, utterly incorruptible and destined to survive each complex political shift&rdquo; (<I>Publishers Weekly</I>, starred review).</DIV>
