Publisher Description
In a country ruled by fear, no one is innocent.
Stalin's Soviet Union is an official paradise, where citizens live free from crime and fear only one thing: the all-powerful state. Defending this system is idealistic security officer Leo Demidov, a war hero who believes in the iron fist of the law. But when a murderer starts to kill at will and Leo dares to investigate, the State's obedient servant finds himself demoted and exiled. Now, with only his wife at his side, Leo must fight to uncover shocking truths about a killer-and a country where "crime" doesn't exist.
Customer Reviews
Great Thriller!
This is a great book with a great setting (being communist Soviet Russia) and a great cast of characters that delve into the psyche of people living in fear and poverty, and throwing us with a great protagonist like Leo who is a survivor and good guy through and through. It’s a fantastic read and a great start to the trilogy.
Interesting take on a crime thriller
It might make a good movie
