Mystery | Suspense
In the widely hailed prequel to Penguin Lost, aspiring
writer Viktor Zolotaryov leads a down-and-out life in
poverty-and-violence-wracked Kiev—he’s out of work and his
only friend is a penguin, Misha, that he rescued when the
local zoo started getting rid of animals. Even more
nerve-wracking: a local mobster has taken a shine to Misha
and wants to keep borrowing him for events. But Viktor thinks he’s finally caught a break when he lands
a well-paying job at the Kiev newspaper writing “living
obituaries” of local dignitaries—articles to be filed for
use when the time comes. The only thing is, it seems the
time always comes as soon as Viktor writes the article.
Slowly understanding that his own life may be in jeopardy,
Viktor also realizes that the only thing that might be
keeping him alive is his penguin.
