Title: Terrific suspense novel set in Siberia
Product review: I gather that this is a first novel, and if so, it's an incredible debut. One of the best suspense/mystery novels I've read in 1998 -- and I read a lot! Protagonist is engaging, the setting is fascinating and well-drawn, and the story unfolds with lots of action and suspense. I was initially a little dubious, figuring it was another Gorky Park clone, but within a couple of pages I was completely hooked.
