Thus is our young hero o] the Russian Revolution
secretly smitten by the sirens of capitalism. In due
course Dimitri is marked by the Kremlin as a young
man with an exceedingly devious mind Accord-
ingly they assign him to the New York Consulate of
the U.S.S.R. For Dimitri, at last united with his love, it
is a dream assignment
But, as dreams go, America quickly takes on the
colors of a nightmare from which there is no awak-
ening. In short order, Dimitri finds himself intrigued
against by his own chief of station, whose highest
ambition is to ship the young spy back to Mos
cow--preferably in a steamer trunk At home in the
consulate, he rinds his future threatened by Katya,
his voluptuous wile, whose highest ambition is to
have an unlimited and most unsocialist charge ac
count at Bergdorf s. On the streets, he is stalked by
Lavrenti, a boyhood friend turned CIA-agent and
nemesis, whose thirst for revenge compels him to
kill Dimitri in a thousand little ways and one big
final payment And down on Wall Street, Dimitri is
plagued by his own wild talent ]or making money in
the stock market, a lot of money, enough money to
make him one of the hundred richest men in Amer-
ica-something that his employers in Red Square
would find difficult to overlook if they knew.
And, as Dimitri knows too well, the old men of
the Kremlin have a deadly habit of knowing every
thing sooner.., or later
A unique and highly entertaining tale of dark hu
mor and rich understanding, The Commissar s
Report is that rare hove[ that is simultaneously
thrilling, moving, and hilarious. What Joseph Heller
did to World War II with Catch-22, Martyn Burke
does to the Cold War with The Commissar s Report.
