Аннотация:

“The Russian soul is well suited to a style defined by dark, hard-edged moodiness in underground settings. With St. Petersburg, the tsar’s ‘Window on Europe’, we get European-style existential angst as well—not to mention the scary sociopolitical realities of the new Russia… For all sophisticated crime fiction readers.”

Library Journal

“Fourteen uniformly strong stories in this outstanding noir anthology devoted to Russia s second city, St. Petersburg. With its rich if often tragic history, deep literary traditions, inspiring landscape, famous architecture, and an aging population stuffed into overcrowded ‘kommunalkas’ amid a post-Soviet decline and soaring crime rates, the city provides an ideal backdrop for crime fiction… The diversity of these skillfully crafted tales testifies to the vigor of contemporary Russian writing.”
