About
It is 1937, and Captain Alexei Korolev finds himself on an airplane bound for Odessa after the suspicious suicide of a loyal young party member who supposedly had an illicit relationship with the party director. His instructions are to determine if her suicide was actually a cover-up for murder, and if so, to find her killer. Korolev finds help from several quarters, but none of them can make up for the one important fact of his case which he cannot discuss.

"Starred review. Booklist lauded Ryan's first Korolev novel, The Holy Thief, and this successor fully delivers on the promise of that judgment. The plot is intricate, the action satisfying and Ryan's use of period detail...makes for exhilarating reading."
