...Penguin Lost, Viktor returns home when the heat is off and gets involved in high-level Kiev politics.

There, he ends up slaving for a Chechen boss in a makeshift crematorium that is the region's only neutral zone because it accommodates the dead from both sides of the conflict.

The flavors change seasonally, but the virtuosity of his combinations don't; recently, his airy gnocchi came with spinach, goat's cheese and pomegranate. Save room for the lemon tartlet, a flaky nest of buttery semi-puff pastry filled with a sunburst of tangy curd. New Rivers is unpretentious and unfussy - just like its city.
