In a contemporary (1992) Moscow of hit-and-miss rule, power politics and upheaval, two murder victims in an apartment in the diplomatic enclave are awaiting individual identification by a Danish diplomat and a Russian nightclub singer. The authorities want the deaths dismissed as accidental. The Dane and a Russian cop think differently and pursue leads that take them into depths of high-level corruption.
