In the third of Donald James' novels about Russian police inspector Constantin Vadim, Russia is suffering from a tuberculosis epidemic, and Vadim travels to New York and ends up involved in the presidential campaign of a candidate who supports Russian aid, while also investigating several murders. Vadim remains a very appealing character, and the novel moves along smartly on several levels, working as both a murder mystery and a political thriller. Rich and satisfying, I only wish there were many more Vadim novels to read. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieConstantin Vadim (3)
2020: Russia has staggered from the ravages of civil war into a new era of mob corruption and despair. A tuberculosis epidemic has wiped out thousands and a mass emigration threatens the stability of the western world. In New York there is lawlessness and rioting. The only hope seems to be the forthcoming Presidential Election. Chief Inspector Constantin Vadim is seconded to a pro-Russian candidate whose wife has been threatened. As Rushton's campaign gathers pace, so too do the threats. Conspiracy within and without threaten to derail the one remaining hope for Russia as the campaign headquarters are stunned by a sequence of killings. Someone has been paid to silence some of Rushton's closest supporters, but why? And why does the killer use the execution techniques of the previous century to eliminate his victims?
