Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov Synopses: In the first book of the Inspector Rostnikov series, Death of a Dissident (aka Rostnikov’s Corpse), Aleksander Granovsky has dedicated his life to exposing the penal system of Russian and its brutality, but has been charged with smuggling essays to the West. While he’s in the middle of writing a speech, a hired killer puts a sickle through his heart. Moscow detective Porfiry Rostnikov is given the case, but he must use all of his skills in order to find this assassin.
The second book of Stuart Kaminsky’s Inspector Rostnikov series is Black Knight in Red Square. Moscow’s Metropole Hotel is a relic from the previous era, but is not very well maintained. Now, it is also the scene of four murders. An American, a Japanese and two Russians lay dead. The Krelim goes to Porfiry Rostnikov in order to solve these murders and keep them under wraps.
In Red Chameleon, Rostnikov thinks he may have found his way out of Russia after a lifetime of service. He’s found some incriminating evidence and uses it to bargain himself and his wife exit visas. But when Brezhnev’s death sends the country into turmoil, it puts an end of Inspector Rostnikov’s possible departure.
