The Case Of The General's Thumb

The corpse of a distinguished general is found attached to an advertising balloon minus his thumb.

Police Lieutenant Viktor Slutsky is sent in to investigate.

So too is KGB officer Nik Tsensky. They begin their investigations unbeknownst to each other, but quickly find themselves mystified about developments caused by the other.Thus begins a comedy of very dangerous errors as the two criss-cross Europe, catalysts in a bizarre battle between the Russian and Ukrainian secret service.

Set against the paranoia of post-Societ collapse, it is an inspiring tale of resilience.
