The stolen heart

Sobre el libro The stolen heart de Andrey Kurkov publicado por Quercus Publishing al 2024:

Samson Kolechko has been assigned a most perplexing case though it is mostly perplexing because it´s hard to understand why selling the meat of one´s own pig constitutes a crime. But apparently it does, and at the insistence of the Chekist secret police officer assigned to "reinforce" the Lybid police station, Samson does his diligent if diffident best.Yet no sooner has he got started than his livein fiancée Nadezhda is abducted by striking railway workers who object to the census she´s carrying out. And when you factor in a mysterious thief in the police station itself, a deadly tram accident that may have been premeditated, and the potential reappearance of the culprit in the case of the silver bone, it´s no wonder the "meat case" takes a back seat.But it is in the pursuit of that pettyfogging, seemingly mundane matter that Samson´s fate lies and Nadezhda´s too, for the two are inextricably entwined.
