"A post-soviet Kafka." --Daily Telegraph Kiev, 1919. The Bolsheviks have taken over the city and chaos reigns. In a weather of looting and daily murder, young Samson Kolechko loses his father and an ear at the hands of the Cossacks, and almost by accident becomes chief of the soviet police. His first dangerous case, which features a severed ear, a silver bone, and a suit of unusual size and exquisite English fabric, will immerse him into Kiev's mayhem and into the arms of Nadezhda, a fiery Bolshevik Samson will not be able to walk away from. With classic flair, full of twists, humor, and ingenuity, the new novel by the "best Ukrainian novelist alive" (New European) adds Samson Kolechko to the cast of great contemporary detectives, such as Quirke or Verhoeven.
