Moore Robin
The Moscow Connection
Encampment Wyoming: USA: Affiliated Writers of America 1994. 1st edition. Fine in dust jacket. 498 pages. "The collapse of communism hasn't eliminated Russia as a setting for novels of suspense and intrigue. Set around the 1991 coup attempt that toppled Mikhail Gorbachev but failed to reassert hardline Communist rule and while leading inadvertently to the collapse of the Soviet Union this vigorously researched but hamfisted thriller from the author of The French Connection turns on the risk of the Russian mafia stealing and reselling nuclear material and weapons. Just before the failed putsch master criminal Slava Yakovlev aka ``the Jap'' imprisoned in a cell whose bribe-begotten comforts temper its Siberian setting manipulates his release in order to fend off challenges to his far-flung empire and implement the mother of all crimes. The Jap puts into motion a complicated plan by which his underlings extract brutal revenge on the KGB officers who gang-raped beautiful young Oksana Martinov-whose father is the government official who arranges for the Jap's release. After the collapse of the coup attempt the now free Moriarity of the Motherland enacts his plan to sell radioactive goods purloined from one of Russia's secret nuclear cities to world terrorists. His machinations involving the massive counterfeiting of American currency lead to violence in New York which draws NYPD Special Investigator Peter Nikhilov son of a Russian emigre onto the case. Going undercover in Moscow Peter falls in love with Oksana-a plot element that's nearly as predictable as the climax which finds the pair trying to escape from a nuclear facility before a thicket of missiles can blow them to kingdom come. Moore's detailing of the Russian mafia and potential nuclear terrorism are fascinating." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. 1st Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book. Affiliated Writers of America Hardcover

BLOOD & RUBLES: An Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov. SIGNED COPY
N.Y.: Fawcett 1996. 1st ed. with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped in protective mylar cover. SIGNED COPY. Signed by Kaminsky at title page. Crime in post-communist Russia has only gotten worse: rubles are scarce blood plentiful. In the eyes of Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov and his metropolitan police team new-found democracy has unleashed the desperation that pushes people over the edge and has emboldened those already on the path to hell. A trio of nasty cases confirms their worst fears. Deputy Inspector Sasha Tkach must find the murderous thieves who have terrorized an impoverished neighborhood. His blood-stained quarry turns out to be a gang of brothers aged seven nine and eleven years old. Policewoman Elena Timofeyeva joins the tax police in a raid on a house filled with Czarist treasures worth billions of rubles. The next day every last relic and work of art has disappeared without a trace. And relentless Inspector Emil Karpo will not rest until he finds the Mafia beasts who killed the only woman he has ever loved in a bloody drive-by shooting--Karpo intends to punish them his way. Playing by the shadowy rules of their superiors and playing against time and the odds Rostnikov and company have their hands full upholding the law--and holding onto something they can believe in--in a country wracked by political change and its powerful consequences.
