Novels like this one foment disgust at Soviet Communism as powerfully as could anything Tom Clancy put together. Solzhenitsyn still tops that chart, though.

I just looked at IMDB to see who was cast in the early 1980s movie version of this so-far-mesmerizing detective story. I had imagined a James Coburn or Lee Marvin as Osborne and Brian Dennehy as Kirwill, and damned if that’s not who they cast (Marvin and Dennehy, to be precise). Their casting director was a genius.
