Book Log 2008 #16: Stalin's Ghost by Martin Cruz Smith
This is the latest novel featuring Moscow police detective Arkady Renko, in which he finds himself tangled up with new Russian politics when people report seeing Joseph Stalin in a Moscow subway station. These sightings become connected to a police colleague and Chechnya war hero who is running for parliament, and raise further questions about the colleague's actions in Chechnya. There's also a personal element to the case, as Renko's girlfriend knows the colleague from Chechnya, and seems to be more interested in being with him than with Renko.
Another solid outing in the series.
