When the corpse of a distinguished general and presidential adviser
is found, attached to an advertising balloon, lieutenant Viktor
Slutsky is sent in to investigate. Meanwhile, KGB officer Nik
Tsensky arrives in Kiev for a secret mission. Their quests
eventually converge as they race around Europe becoming involved in
a battle between the Russian and Ukrainian secret services as they
hunt for hidden treasure - a stash of KGB gold. A larger-than-life
hitman, bombs under furniture, a hearse, a deaf-and-dumb blonde and
a backfiring automatic all play a part as Kurkov evokes a world of
secret militia not seen before in Western fiction.
