Publisher Description

Siberia, land of hope and desperation, frontier to a people shackled by corruption, bloodied by dictators, betrayed by history. A land of unimaginable wealth, and unimaginable greed. Against this backdrop, Gregori Nowek, the mayor of the small river town of Markovo, is ordered to investigate the killing of 3 men. Two of them are members of his own militia. The third is Andrei Ryzkhov, a wealthy New Russian; a man who has made a fortune from an American-financed oil exploration deal. The investigation leads Nowek into a labyrinth of deception and ends with a terrible discovery: an old horror, long thought dead, has reemerged amidst the frozen wastes of Siberia.

Gregori Nowek, amateur violinist, former oil geologist, unwilling detective, is a man of reason. He believes in the power of truth even when the truth is inconvenient. He believes in law, even in a lawless nation. And he still holds fast to a flicker of hope; hope for the future, and hope for himself. It remains hidden waiting to be ignited by Anna Vereskaya, an American ecologist and savior to the endangered Siberian tiger.

When Anna is named the prime suspect in Ryzkhov's murder, Nowek wants to believe she is innocent. Anna has come to Siberia to study and save the great Siberian tiger. Instead she has found the dangerous edge of a brutal conspiracy that draws them both into a hunt for the truth, and a desperate race for survival.

"Very good novel set in Siberia dealing with crime and corruption in an outpost town and a remote wilderness area. Gives a real feel for the rough side of everyday life in Russia and the breakdown in their society. Excellent plot and well - developed characters keep your interest throughout. "

    " I don't usually read murder mystery novels, but this was very entertaining. The story kept a good pace so I stayed engaged in the story, and the author really made you feel like you were experiencing the story through the viewpoint of a Russian. Overall, an enjoyable read. "

    " Damn this was good. I have very low expectations from battered hardcover thrillers I pick up in desperation at the library. But this one had it all: excellent writing, great characters, and a doozy of a plot. Loved it. "

    " Suspense, Siberia, and Rocks! As a fellow rock-hound and student of Geology I loved this book. The plot is masterfully crafted, the characters are believable and ultimately human, the setting feels real and I couldn't stop reading. This should be on every mystery fans bookshelf. "

    " Robin White excels in his novels of Siberian Russia. The excitement builds with an average "hero", winning out against strong odds. White's other charactors are icing on the cake in a fast moving plot. "

    " Truly excellent read. Fantastic look at an area I knew nothing about along with a real thriller. Would make a great movie. My big question, why no more books in this series?? "

    " I really enjoyed this book. It's set in post-communist Siberia and is a story of love, corruption, and one mans personal battle for redemption. It's quite interesting. "

    " Good enough to earn my time with a subsequent novel, The Ice Curtain. I liked the Representation of the Russian outlook on life, particularly the interaction between the main character, Nowak, and is driver - well done. "

    " I suspect russians would find this book incredibly offensive. On the other hand, I just find it implausible. I managed to suspend disbelief, but it was not easy! "
