Speelt zich af in Moskou tijdens de Stalin periode (1936). De vervolging van anti-communisten is wijdverspreid en gewone burgers worden geterroriseerd. Verder is het het begin van de winter en heeft niemand genoeg te eten of kleding omte dragen. Hoewel het plot redelijk voorspelbaar is, leidt dat niet teveel af van het verhaal. Wat lastig was was de Russische gewoonte om de voor- en middelste namen in verschillende combinaties te gebruiken, afhankelijk van de intimiteit tussen de sprekers. Op momenten had ik zoiets van 'wie is dat nou weer'. (  ) EdwinKort | Oct 18, 2019 | I think that my brain might be a bit slow on the uptake as well. Due to the unfamiliar and difficult names I had real problems keeping the minor characters straight. This led to some really confusing moments. Also, a few times something seemed to be missing, like a bridging paragraph between action sequences perhaps. I reread a few parts because I couldn't quite figure out what had actually happened. In the end I just gave up and kept going forward. I'm not sure if I should recommend this - it was a bit too confusing. However, I will say that if you into Soviet crime books and you have a better brain for picking up really tiny facts during action scenes this might be for you.

HTML: Moscow, 1936, and Stalin's Great Terror is beginning. In a deconsecrated church, a young woman is found dead, her mutilated body displayed on the altar for all to see. Captain Alexei Korolev, finally beginning to enjoy the benefits of his success with the Criminal Investigation Division of the Moscow Militia, is asked to investigate. But when he discovers that the victim is an American citizen, the NKVD??the most feared organization in Russia??becomes involved. Soon, Korolev's every step is under close scrutiny and one false move will mean exile to The Zone, where enemies of the Soviet State, both real and imagined, meet their fate in the frozen camps of the far north. Committed to uncovering the truth behind the gruesome murder, Korolev enters the realm of the Thieves, rulers of Moscow's underworld. As more bodies are discovered and pressure from above builds, Korolev begins to question who he can trust and who, in a Russia where fear, uncertainty and hunger prevail, are the real criminals. Soon, Korolev will find not only his moral and political ideals threatened, but also his life. William Ryan's remarkable debut will storm into ten countries in what is sure to be an international publishing event. With Captain Alexei Korolev, William Ryan has given us one of the most compelling detectives in modern literature, a man dogged and humble, a man who will lead us through a fear-choked Russia to find the only thing that can save him or any of us??the tr Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden.
