"Not merely the work of our best writer of suspense, but of one of our best writers, period"
NEW YORK TIMES
Fishing in the Bering Sea, a trawler's nets bring up flatfish, pollock, crabs and a blonde girl in a white blouse and blue jeans. Her name is Zina, and she is a crewmember of the Soviet factory ship Polar Star which processes the American trawlers' catches.
Detailed to the ship's "slime line," where the catch is gutted before freezing, is second-class seaman Arkady Renko, formerly Senior Investigator in the Moscow Prosecutor's Office, now a nobody. But Renko is appointed by the Polar Star's captain to investigate the death.
While other officers hijack the inquiry and put through a neat suicide verdict, Renko pursues his lonely search and discovers why so many crewmen have an interest in turning him, too, into a corpse.
"Cruz Smith is a real writer with a keen eye, a hearing ear, and an original cast of mind"
THE TIMES
"The novel builds to a splendid climax, the clues are well hidden, and the reader will be kept guessing to the end"
Bryan Forbes in EVENING STANDARD
"Cruz Smith's ability is to tell both a thriller and a novel at once, without losing either strand. There are whispers of Conrad and Graham Greene in this novel"
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
