Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Ex-CIA man Max Rushmore travels to a still-peaceful Odesa on routine assignment. But things veer off course when the severed hand of the local governor shows up in a vat of sunflower oil. Max stumbles across a solitary toe, with the same tell-tale markings. The downsized professional can't help himself - he has to investigate.With the Russian threat in the background, Max's quest takes him down to the crumbling underbelly of the beautiful Black Sea port city, once the Russian Empire's glittering third capital. It leads him to dubious businessmen, corrupt officials, catacomb dwellers, scientists, pastry-chefs, poets, archivists, cops - and killers.As global political tensions rise, Max begins to untangle the threads of the case. But he is also being tracked - and not just by Odesa's network of mafia-minded stray cats, who may be the only ones who really know what's going on.In this surreal contemporary spin on the classic spy thriller, Sally McGrane pays tribute to one-time Odesa residents like Babel, Gogol, Pushkin and Chekhov, creating a darkly witty, beguiling and bizarre work of fiction like nothing before.Tokarczuk meets Bulgakov meets Le Carre, in this affectionate portrait of a complex and fascinating city."Odesa at Dawn lives in that special place where noir meets the absurd. If you cherish that space - and why wouldn't you? - this book is for you." Dan Vyleta, author of Soot and Smoke;"By turns sober, then wild and mysterious, with occasional excursions into the fantastic. As if Lewis Carroll's Alice and Isaac Babel's legendary gangster Benya Krik had met up for new tales from Odesa." Peter Koerte, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung;"A political thriller with feline protagonists? Can that possibly work? It shouldn't, but in the case of Sally McGrane's Odesa at Dawn it does. Very well, in fact." Deutschlandfunk Kultur Ex-CIA man Max Rushmore's routine trip to a still peaceful Odesa veers off course when the severed hand of the local governor shows up in a vat of sunflower oil. Then Max stumbles across a solitary toe, with the same tell-tale markings. The downsized professional can't help himself - he has to investigate.
