Stalin's Ghost by Martin Cruz Smith

4.0

Snow and the delights/limitations of it is a main character in Stalin's Ghost. Arkady Renko is, as always, the dogged and abused investigator of a murder or two (even if they are not his job), and struggling to keep his odd little ragtag of a family. A little sad and depressing but also engaging and uplifting, "Stalin's Ghost" is another fine story in the Renko saga.
