Synopsis

Three bodies found frozen in the snow. And the hunt for the killer begins...

A triple murder in Moscow's famous Gorky Park amusement centre rocks the capital - three corpses found in the snow, so badly mutilated that their identities can't be verified.

Chief Investigator Arkady Renko from the Moscow police takes the case.

Renko is a brilliant investigator - dangerously so.

Now, to identify the victims and uncover the truth, he must battle the KGB, FBI and the police - and stay alive doing it....
