Description
When a prominent Soviet dissident is found dead, Moscow police inspector Porfiry Rostnikov is assigned to investigate a case that powerful officials would prefer to keep closed. As he follows a trail through the city’s literary circles, political bureaucracy, and security apparatus, Rostnikov confronts conflicting loyalties and dangerous secrets. Blending sharp detective work with a vivid portrait of life behind the Iron Curtain, this atmospheric mystery explores censorship, corruption, conscience, and the personal cost of seeking the truth.
