In Stalin's Soviet Union, agent Leo Demidov is a war hero who blindly believes in the system. However, when he is forced to spy on his own wife, his faith begins to crack. Degraded and exiled, he encounters a series of child murders that the authorities ignore. Determined to discover the truth, Demidov launches an investigation that will confront him with a threat far more fearsome than he ever imagined. This fast-paced novel by Tom Rob Smith realistically portrays the claustrophobic atmosphere and cruelty of Stalinism, becoming a worldwide bestseller and adapted into film by Ridley Scott.
