political mystery
Actually this novel was less of a mystery and more political intrigue. I found it a little hard to follow, but the main character is deep and thoughtful-a different kind of man than what might be expected in Stalin's USSR.

And We Think Politics Can Make Life Difficult!
In 1937 Russia, Captain Alexei Korolev is caught between his party loyalties and his sense of justice, while investigating the murder of an actress. What makes the job more difficult is the one secret condition under which he must perform the investigation. With endless possible suspects, Ryan writes an intriguing crime fiction drawn from history. Rated good versus very good because occasionally a bit stilted but a fascinating story none-the-less.
