What may be the last Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov book as the author passed away in 2009, I find. There's a serial killer in a park, and there's a boxer accused of murdering his wife and his sparring partner. Elena and Iosef get married!
Lew Fonesca is hired to prove that a teen didn't kill a guy everyone hated who was trying to shut down the local high school for gifted students. The Dairy Queen is closed; Lew moves AND buys a car for sixty-six bucks. Victor goes home, too. A small quibble with "twelve hundred years" and "twelve hundred centuries" on page seven, but I'll get over it.
Quote:
There were consequences, but there was the promise of windmills. (pg. 146)
Inspector Rostnikov looks for a missing cosmonaut, Sash looks for who stole a motion picture negative, Karpov looks for the murderer of an ESP researcher.
A cop shoots his wife and her lover and then threatens to blow up the building. Lieberman wins the first confrantation with Frankie Kraylaw. Seconnd book in series.
Lew Fonesca agrees to find the sister of a mentally-impaired neighbor. And Adele has run off, possibly with all the unpublished manuscripts of a famous reclusive author she met. Plus, people are getting killed. It's all rather depressing... I've decided that Kaminsky's books are peopled by charactors who have had some tragedy in their life, and are often searching for some kind of redemption.
