Inspector Akyl Borubaev of the Bishkek Murder Squad has been exiled to the far corner of Kyrgyzstan, but death and corruption still haunt him in the remote town where he has been stationed. Borubaev soon finds himself caught up in a mysterious and gruesome new case: several children's bodies have been found buried together--all tagged with name bands, all killed in the same way. In his search for the truth behind the brutal killings, Borubaev hits a wall of silence, with no one to turn to outside his sometime lover, the beautiful and lethal undercover security service agent Saltanat Umarova. When Borubaev himself is framed for the production of blood-soaked child pornography connected with the case, it looks as though things couldn't get any worse. With the investigation at a dangerous standstill, Borubaev sets out to save his own integrity, and to deliver his own savage brand justice on behalf of the many dead who can't speak for themselves"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"Two-fisted Kyrgyzstani detective Akyl Borubaev returns to investigate a savage series of child murders that threatens to topple the political order"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPolice$zKyrgyzstan$vFiction 606 $aChildren$xCrimes against$vFiction 606 $aSerial murder investigation$vFiction 607 $aKyrgyzstan$vFiction 608 $aSuspense fiction.$2gsafd 608 $aMystery fiction.$2gsafd 608 $aNoir fiction.$2gsafd 615 0$aPolice 615 0$aChildren$xCrimes against 615 0$aSerial murder investigation 676 $a823/.92 700 $aCallaghan$b Tom$01248366 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154664403321 996 $aA spring betrayal$92893387 997 $aUNINA
