About This Book

A triple murder in a Moscow amusement center: three corpses found frozen in the snow, faces and fingers missing.

Chief homicide investigator Arkady Renko is brilliant, sensitive, honest, and cynical about everything except his profession. To identify the victims and uncover the truth, he must battle the KGB, FBI and New York police as he pursues a rich, ruthless, and well-connected American fur dealer. Meanwhile, Arkady is falling in love with a beautiful, headstrong dissident for whom he may risk everything...

Rich in insight, powerfully written, unrelentingly suspenseful, and impeccable in its portrayal of Moscow life, here is Gorky Park.
