Rostnikov is a Russian bear of a man, an honest policeman in a very dishonest post-Soviet Russia. Known as \"The Washtub,\" Rostnikov is one of the most engaging and relevant characters in crime fiction, a sharp and caring policeman as well as the perfect tour guide to a changing (that is, disintegrating) Russia. Surviving pogroms and politburos, he has solved crimes, mostly in spite of the powers that rule his world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePeople Who Walk in Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e, Rostnikov travels to Siberia to investigate a murder at a diamond mine, where he discovers an old secret…and an even older personal problem.
