“A stiff breeze blew through the mixed forest, making needles whisper and leaves rattle. Demidov was just another shadow moving among shadows, sliding between the scrubby trees with an eerie kind of grace. It had taken him an hour to discover the overgrown dirt lane leading into the forest. The “address” he’d found in the Blue Water Marine Group’s office was more of a general direction than any specific guide. The reservation reminded him of the farthest fringes of Vladivostok, where cart ro...ads became footpaths that unraveled into the wild, ragged land, places where somebody’s location was a matter of spirited discussion among natives. The wind helped Demidov find his destination. He followed the odor of feces and burning trash to the moonlit clearing where bottles and plastic bags studded the wrecked vehicles in bizarre decoration. Again, it reminded him of Vladivostok. Even the can of kerosene he carried brought back memories. There was one light burning in the sagging trailer at the far side of the clearing.MoreLessRead More Read Less
