Mystery set in 1950's Soviet Union.
How do you catch a serial killer in a society that has "No Crime" and any intimation that you are investigating said killer-could get you sent to the Gulag or killed?

That's like asking if you can have a military funeral in Russia anymore when suddenly all military deaths are considered "state secrets."
