Crime fiction set in 1953 USSR. As one of the cover blurbs notes, comparisons to Gorky Park (which is one of my all-time favorites) are inevitable. This debut novel has had a big advertising push in the NYT Review of Books. It's not Gorky Park, and Tom Rob Smith isn't Martin Cruz Smith, but it's worth reading.

I read this over several days at B&N. It hooked me because it was about a serial killer (love those) in the Soviet Union. But it was rather predictable. I'm not a fan of Gorky Park, but the movie was pretty good.
