In the new St. Petersburg, everyone is driven by something--hunger, fear or greed. State shops are empty and organized crime is flourishing. To combat the rising criminal tide, an investigator from Moscow is sent to learn about the Russian Mafia. And no one knows more than detective Grushko, who pursues the Mafia with a single-mindedness verging on obsession.

Dead Meat is a superb, hard-edged suspense thriller. And with its echoes of Dostoyevsky, it is also an unforgettable literary journey through the strange and blood-soaked landscape where everyone is guilty of something, and punishment comes in many forms.
