The Burning Lake by Brent Ghelfi, 283 pages, thriller.
The fourth of Ghelfi's novels featuring ex-Spetsnaz Colonel, and current gangster, Alekei "Volk" Volkovoy is a disappointment. Volk, who is also a full-time secret officer serving under the shadowy General, seems to have lost his way. There is a dead journalist, a big-time nuclear waste scandal about to blow, and crazed assassins, but the story never really gels.
Interesting moments, but not up to the other three Volk novels.
Volk's Game, The Venona Cable or Shadow of the Wolf are all much better books.
