Description

This really is a completely captivating crime book that moves in the Russian criminal underworld of London to Russian Brooklyn and Russia itself. "Londongrad" starts on the edges of Ny, where Brooklyn abuts on Queens and where airplanes going for JFK travel in low within the Jamaica wetlands. Euro-American PI Artie Cohen discovers a dead girl covered from head-to-toe in silver duct-tape - 'Mummy Girl', she's dubbed by the newspapers. Along with his new partner, Bobo Leven, a twenty-eight-year-old investigator who still lives with his Russian parents in Brighton Beach, Artie tracks for the killer, a search that leads him to London - or 'Londongrad'.
