The Holy Thief   William Ryan
Historical mystery set in 1936 Moscow where Inspector Korolev tries to track down the serial killer who has tortured and killed a Russian/American nun, a high-ranking thief, and even an NKVD major. Or is it all a rogue NKVD operation about stolen icons? Fairly entertaining and well-enough written, but kind of slim on the history and details of Russian life. Enjoyed it.
