Murder at the Red October
by Anthony Olcott
Unlikely hero, great Listen
The lead character of the novel, Duvakin, is a great character because he is unique in my reading experience. He is completely out of his depth as forces as large as hi-tech traders, drug dealers, and the KGB push him around and he simply tries to survive.
The novel opens with Duvakin providing security at the Red October hotel. A sleepy nightshift position, he spends most of his time dealing with drunks and minor visitor complaints. When a murder occurs, he calls the KGB and thinks he has passed the problem on to someone else. When he stumbles across a substantial quantity of heroin stored in a Russian doll, he unintentionally deals himself back into the high stakes game.

Thanks for the offering. I have been a little under the weather (and the weather hasn't been too nice) so I will enjoy listening to this.
