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 Samsón Kolechko pierde a su padre y una oreja a manos de los cosacos, y se ve casi por accidente como jefe de la policía soviética. Su primer y peligroso caso, que incluye una oreja cortada, un hueso de plata y un traje de inusual tamaño y exquisita tela inglesa, lo sumergirá en el caos de Kiev y en los brazos de Nadiezhda, una ardiente bolchevique de la que Samsón ya no podrá separarse.
Con aire de clásico, llena de giros, humor e ingenio, la nueva novela del «mejor novelista vivo de Ucrania» (New European) suma a Samsón Kolechko al elenco de los grandes detectives contemporáneos como Quirke o Verhoeven.

“A post-soviet Kafka.” —Daily Telegraph
Kiev, 1919. 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 Kiev’s 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.
