When a Russian cosmonaut goes missing, his last words on the space station were instructions to contact Inspector Porfiry Rosnikov if something went wrong with the mission. Now his fellow Mir cosmonauts are turning up dead and the Inspector must discover why before another murder can take place.

Review of 'Fall of a cosmonaut' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The quality of these books drops later in the series, in part I think because the Soviet backdrop is replaced, as it was in real life, by chaos. I also find the numerous inconsistencies (in dates, characters' story lines, etc.) more distracting. By this point however I really like the characters and want to see what happens to them - had Kaminsky not died, I would have continued to read about Rostnikov et al. indefinitely.
