"A continuing adventure that in terms of popular fiction is surely a work of art." --Patrick Anderson, "Washington Post" "[Smith] takes what in essence is a police procedural and elevates it to the level of absorbing fiction.""--"Nicholas A. Basbanes, "Los Angeles Times" "The sustained success of Smith's Renko books is based on much more than Renko. This author's gift for tart, succinct description creates a poisonous political backdrop, one that makes his characters' survival skills as important as any of their other attributes. . . [This is] one top-flight series, still sharply honed, none the worse for wear.""--"Janet Maslin, "New York Times" "Martin Cruz Smith knows his Russia. Every page reeks of Moscow: dirty snow, the stink of cigarette and vodka fumes, the cynicism and tasteless opulence of the mafia, the all-pervasive corruption.""--The Economist" "As always, Smith elevates a police procedural story to a taste of Russia, a glass of vodka poured quivering to the brim.""--"Jennifer Kay, Associated Press "There are few thriller practitioners indeed who can weld a story to a graceful chassis of literature and send it barreling away at top speed. Martin Cruz Smith is one of them.""--"Andrew Z. Galarneau, "Buffalo News" "As always, Smith elevates a police procedural story to a taste of Russia, a glass of vodka poured quivering to the brim."

As a train pulls into Yaroslav Station, Moscow, a teenage girl - Maya - wakes to an unimaginable horror. Her baby has been taken . . . Increasingly disillusioned with the workings of Moscow's Prosecution Service, Arkady Renko is teetering on the brink of resignation when he becomes drawn into a strange new case. A prostitute has been found dead in a trailer in Three Stations - a dark, notorious part of the city - without a mark on her. Soon Renko will find that the girl is linked to the extravagant Club Nijinsky and, as he is drawn into the extraordinary world of Moscow's super-rich, that nothing is quite as it seems. Meanwhile, Maya also wanders Three Stations, searching for her baby. Her only ally is a young man, Zhenya - Renko's own troubled ward - who is drawn to her cause and will guide her through Moscow's dark underbelly. But neither Zhenya nor Renko realize that Maya herself is being hunted. And those seeking her will stop at nothing to silence her . . .
