Kaminsky is adept at navigating the shoals of post-Soviet Russia while delivering solid suspense and knockout characterization. --Booklist (starred review) on People Who Walk in Darkness Kaminsky expertly ties all the disparate threads together into one satisfying read...strongly recommended for all mystery collections. --Library Journal (starred review) Porfiry Petrovich Rostnikov is one of the better contemporary examples of an honest policeman navigating the shoals of a corrupt society...The particularly high stakes make this one of Rostnikov's more exciting investigations. Hopefully, fans won't have to wait as long for his next outing. --Publishers Weekly An endearing Russian bear of a detective...the chief inspector is dispatched to the wretched town of Devochka, which consists of eight identical single-story concrete buildings and a cracked concrete road to the mine. While some people can and do go mad in such places, Devochka inspires Kaminsky's sleuth to new levels of irony. --The New York Times Book Review
