"What is the thing we crave most in life? The sense that someone somewhere loves remembers and loves us. Even better if we love them in turn. Anything can be endured if that idea holds fast. What could be worse than discovering how fatuous, how ignorant, that assumption can be? So, better not to seek." In the third novel by Martin Cruz Smith focusing on Investigator Arkady Renko, he is once again in Moscow, but now it is a different Moscow. Communism has left, and the new Moscow is for entrepreneurs. And that is how the story begins, with Renko and his new investigative team using the help of a black-marketer to investigate the new crime lords that dominate Russian society in every aspect.. It is on a stakeout when the man who is their mole is killed, and Renko must discover why. Then others begin to die, and he hears the voice of the woman he loved so long ago, his defector, Irina Asanova.
