This was the first book I have read in this series, or by this author. I don't usually go for books with crime/police, but this was a nice "breath of fresh air". 

I belive its the 8th book in the series about Russian police officer Arkady Renko but it reads very nicely as a standalone book. The story was captivating and interesting. I'm not sure that I will go out of my way to get more books in this series, but im not opposed to trying another one! If you like crime novels, or even just suspense/mysteries, then I think you will also get some enjoyment out of this book.
