Rostnikov's Vacation (Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov Mysteries

Rostnikov's Vacation (Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov Mysteries Book 7)

In the faltering Soviet Union, the KGB will do anything to hold on to power

A Jewish man in a squalid government flat finds a killer in his shower. A young punk girl hurtles naked through the window of her apartment. And in the Crimea, at a health retreat for mid-level functionaries, an aging policemanâ€™s death is made to look like heart failure.
Â
Itâ€™s this last murder that catches Porfiry Rostnikovâ€™s attention. The inspectorâ€™s wife is recovering from brain surgery, and his superiors at the Moscow police insist he accompany her to the Crimea. There he meets Georgi Vasilievich, a former colleague suffering from emphysema, a bad heart, and an inability to stop working. He is investigating a high-level conspiracy when he dies, and Rostnikov inherits the case, putting him on the trail of a gang of hardline security men who refuse to give up the Soviet dreamâ€”and who will go to murderous lengths to ensure that perestroika never comes to pass.
