Siberia, land of hope and desperation, frontier to a people shackled by corruption, bloodied by dictators, betrayed by history. A land of unimaginable wealth, and unimaginable greed. Against this backdrop, Gregori Nowek, the mayor of the small river town of Markovo, is ordered to investigate the killing of three men. Two of them are members of his own militia. The third is Andrei Ryzkhov, a wealth "New Russian"; a man who has made a fortune from an American-financed oil exploration deal. The investigation leads Nowek into a labyrinth of deception and ends with a terrible discovery; an old horror, long thought dead, has reemerged amidst the frozen wastes of Siberia.

Robin White's magnificent novel captures the agonies of a nation catapulted into the 21st century from the deep sleep of communism and pulses with unforgettable characters and astonishing detail. As it careens toward a wild, violent chase across the frozen taiga, Siberian Light builds to an exhilarating climax---a staggering surprise---spellbinding until the final, unforgettable scene.
