About the author

Friedrich Neznansky (Russian: Фридрих Евсеевич Незнанский; born September 27, 1932 in Rahachow Raion, Belarus) was a popular Russian crime novelist. He was a lawyer by education, practiced law in Moscow, and was an investigator at the Moscow Prosecutor General’s office for fifteen years; his hero in most of his books, Aleksandr Turetsky, reflects that experience. Turetsky is a flawed hero—he has a straying eye. However, he always catches the crooks. Although Neznansky’s crime novels are light fiction, the political and social currents of the day can be sensed in them, as well as everyday Russian realities. Several of his books have been televised.

Voor de derde of vierde keer herlezen. Ik kan er niets aan doen maar het blijft een schitterend boek.

[Grada (BoekenTrol) · Rating 5 out of 5]

For me as a western girl it was an eye opener to read this book, just like "The red square". I was studying Russian at the time and I heard a lot about daily life during courses. This part of that life was never that clear, hard to imagine too. That is why I read it many times, first of all to understand the book and secondly to read it again as in "yes I did really read that"...
Very good book!

Knappe roman, waarin werkelijkheid mooi wordt vermengd met fictie, dat deze ook zeer zou overtuigen als feit. Prachtige schets van de duistere kanten van de sovjetmaatschappij: bijna een spiegelbeeld van de krachten in het huidige Rusland. Hoewel al dertig jaar oud, nog steeds actueel.
