[.] Como en Muerte con pingueino, Kurkov combina lo absurdo con lo ordinario, lo comico con lo sordido. -Isabelle Mandraud, Le Monde des Livres Un Kafka postsovietico. -Daily Telegraph Kiev, 1919. Los bolcheviques han tomado el mando de la ciudad y en ella reina el descontrol. En un clima de robos y asesinatos diarios, el joven Samson Kolechko pierde a su padre y una oreja a manos de los cosacos, y se ve casi por accidente como jefe de la policia sovietica. Su primer y peligroso caso, que incluye una oreja cortada, un hueso de plata y un traje de inusual tamano y exquisita tela inglesa, lo sumergira en el caos de Kiev y en los brazos de Nadiezhda, una ardiente bolchevique de la que Samson ya no podra separarse. Con aire de clasico, llena de giros, humor e ingenio, la nueva novela del mejor novelista vivo de Ucrania (New European) suma a Samson Kolechko al elenco de los grandes detectives contemporaneos como Quirke o Verhoeven.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA SHERLOCK HOLMES IN KIEV.

The Bolsheviks have taken over the city and chaos reigns. In a weather of looting and daily murder, young Samson Kolechko loses his father and an ear at the hands of the Cossacks, and almost by accident becomes chief of the soviet police. His first dangerous case, which features a severed ear, a silver bone, and a suit of unusual size and exquisite English fabric, will immerse him into Kievs mayhem and into the arms of Nadezhda, a fiery Bolshevik Samson will not be able to walk away from. With classic flair, full of twists, humor, and ingenuity, the new novel by the best Ukrainian novelist alive (New European) adds Samson Kolechko to the cast of great contemporary detectives, such as Quirke or Verhoeven.
