pickYou can feel the cold in your bones as you read this excellent sequel to “Gorky Park.” An exiled Arkady Renko is working on a massive Arctic fishing trawler when a girl turns up dead in the nets. The captain puts Arkady on the case, and as usual the unendingly corrupt and nonsensical Soviet culture is the real (expertly rendered) enemy…Arkady may be covered in frozen fish guts but his resilient sense of humor and stubborn honor shine through.
