When a Kiev video store is torched, the wife of the now-deceased owner—and primary suspect in the arson case—hires private investigator Janos Nagy. As he delves into the woman’s past, Janos discovers things are far more than meets the eye, and as the case is pursued further, a human trafficking plot unfolds from Kiev across the Ukraine. With mixed involvement of Eastern European and Russian mafia, the Ukraine Secret Service, and both orthodox and nonorthodox church rivalries, the race to untangle the threads of the international trafficking ring turns quickly to a matter of life and death.

Michael Beres is the author of Chernobyl Murders, Grand Traverse, and The President's Nemesis. He lives in Freesoil, Michigan.
The gut-wrenching ghost of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster hangs over Beres's depressing sequel to Chernobyl Murders. Former stripper Mariya Nemeth hires Chicago PI Lazlo Horvath after her husband of one month, Viktor Patolichev, dies in the torching of his adult video store. Did Victor set fire to the store for the insurance money, or was the arson related to Viktor's past involvement in human trafficking? Mariya also seeks help from Kiev PI Janos Nagy, Lazlo's protégé, with whom she develops a romantic relationship. Two masked men later brutalize Mariya, a not so subtle warning that the investigation must stop. Lazlo, Mariya and Janos eventually find answers in the exclusion zone around Chernobyl. Readers should be prepared for some overheated prose (e.g., the video store blazing.... The fire so hot when her father cut slabs of bacon to put on a stick and shove into the flames and drip blackened grease onto rye bread for aunts, uncles, and cousins). (Nov.)
