Dispatches from the memory of Books

Sergei Lukyanenko - "The Night Watch". The first in a series of supernatural thrillers with a Russian twist - a sophisticated read interspersed with references to Russian literature and pop culture...With a cynical look at modern-day Russia, where even vampires have more morality than the country's corrupt leaders. The only drawback is the sometimes sloppy translation - the publisher seemed to have been in a hurry to get this out, probably due to the release of the film of the same name.
