This brilliant work by one of Russia's foremost novelists teems with greed, passion, depravity, and complex moral issues. Three brothers, involved in the brutal murder of their despicable father, find their lives irrevocably altered as they are driven by intense, uncontrollable emotions of rage and revenge.
Part murder mystery, part profound philosophical and theological debate, this novel introduces readers to a world filled with greed, passion, depravity, and complex moral issues as three brothers investigate their father's murder.
