  • "Arkady Renko, el notable héroe de Parque Gorki, ha regresado a Moscú. Pero Moscú ya no es la ciudad que conoció cuando era jefe del Departamento de Homicidios. El comunismo ha muerto, el rublo no vale nada y el crimen y la delincuencia han florecido en medio del desconcierto provocado por los profundos cambios políticos y sociales. Renko comprueba que el mercado negro y la especulación son las únicas actividades prósperas del país, pero no se da por vencido. Al investigar la muerte de un banquero conectado con el hampa, el singular detective penetra más y más en las organizaciones del delito y en la corrupción de ese mundo en descomposición. Como es habitual en él, desafía a sus superiores y a funcionarios sin escrúpulos. Pero el hilo de esta trama lo llevará al encuentro de Irina Asanova, la mujer a la que ama que fue la causante de su encarcelamiento y exilio. --Cover, p. [4]."
