Synopsis:
Dead Light is a page-turning suspense/thriller that begins with an alleged suicide, and an investigation that reveals unexplained disappearances that involve high-level Soviet bureaucrats, many involved with nuclear material.
During a violent September thunderstorm, a man's body falls from the Sobakina Tower, and crashes into the garden outside the Kremlin walls.
Colonel Vladimir Antonovich from the SID, Special Investigations Department, rushes to the scene with his partners Kulick and Frunze.
At the wall, they discover that the man has no identification, but does have a suspected suicide note in his hand, badly smudged from the rain.
Since there is a hole in the man's head, and no gun is found, interesting questions arise. Did the man shoot himself and someone picked up the gun and ran off with it, or did someone else shoot him, and then push him over the side?
As Colonel Antonovich investigates, he finds that there have been other suicides recently, most handled by the Militia. Strangely, the familes of all of previous suicides have been reported as missing.
Soon, Antonovich discovers that the family of the man found outside the Kremlin wall is missing, too. He also finds a trail of illegal exit visas, evidence of laundered money, and multiple cases of unlawful death. There is also the questionable disposition of nuclear waste.
Now, Colonel Antonovich must find out who is responsible before anymore "suicides" are found, or somebody makes a dirty bomb from unaccounted for nuclear waste.
