<DIV><B>&ldquo;Kaminsky gets Russia right, and Cuba right, but best of all he gets his superb cop Rostnikov altogether right yet another time. Bravo!&rdquo; &mdash;Ed McBain</B><BR /> &#160;<BR /> The Soviet Union is dead, and Russian society has been fractured into a thousand pieces. Through those cracks seeps the first serial killer in the country&rsquo;s history, whose exploits send Moscow into a frenzy. As his colleagues hunt for the pipe-wielding maniac who&rsquo;s killed forty women so far, police inspector Porfiry Rostnikov must depart for Havana to avoid an international incident.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> First, Rostnikov must confront his fear of flying&mdash;or more specifically, flying on Russian airplanes. Assuming he lands safely in Havana, this case will require the utmost diplomacy. A Russian politician is accused of murdering a young Cuban woman. Rostnikov&rsquo;s superiors want things wrapped up cleanly and quickly. Unfortunately, their man in Havana is about to discover there is nothing simple about this murder.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;In a style reminiscent of Martin Cruz Smith in <I>Gorky Park</I>, Kaminsky effectively transplants the police procedural to the fertile ground of &lsquo;democratic&rsquo; Russia, where it blossoms anew&#160;.&#160;.&#160;. An excellent novel.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>Booklist</I></DIV>
