Synopsis

The Cold War heats up when trouble comes knocking on the door of ex-cop turned Private Eye Lacey Lockington. Lacey is hot on the trail of Alexi Fedorovich after the high-ranking general publishes a controversial expose detailing that Glasnost/Perestroika is a hoax. Federovich goes into hiding in the last place he suspects someone will look for him―somewhere in Youngstown, Ohio.

For someone who's pretty much seen and done it all, Lacey's unnerved when he starts dealing with Russian spies, Federal Agents, a man who doesn't want to be found, and an increasing body count of all his leads. Will Lacey, along with former KGB agent and live-in lover Natasha, get to the bottom of it all before Fedorovich finds himself on the wrong end of a firing squad?

From Kirkus Reviews:

Leaden follow-up to the lighthearted, ebullient The Devereaux File (1990), which introduced Ohio p.i. Lacey Lockington to the adorable, mysterious defecting spy Natasha. Here, Lacey's hired to corral another Russian defector who's come to roost in unlikely Youngstown, only this one is a biggie: General Alexi Fedorovich, author of The Wheels of Treachery, an expos‚ of glasnost/perestroika. Soon the bodies start flying, and so many Russians have infiltrated the Youngstown environs that it's like a Moscow suburb. While Lacey's dodging both them and the feds, Natasha tries to unravel the code on Fedorovich's book cover--but it'll take Lacey's new (mostly unwanted) assistant, Barney Kozlowski, an inveterate reader of derring-do, to find the missing clue to Fedorovich's whereabouts. Five murders, innumerable threats, tails, punches, and one bombing later, Lacey is settin' on the porch with the troublesome general and contemplating life as his son-in-law.... Very strained, but old pro Spencer keeps it all moving with spurts of narrative gusto. -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
