Review:
`A rollicking debut ... it's written with flair and has plenty of stand-out sequences, among them a slow, surreal drive through a Potemkin village and a descent into a disused mine to look for bodies.' --Guardian
`The see-saw narrative is a perfect ploy for a thriller, taking in both the dying embers of the Romanov era and the wake-up call that would follow with the purges and the famines, the assassinations and torture chambers ... What can you say . . . except a hearty Na zdorovye!' --Independent on Sunday
`A great debut which introduces a detective whose morals are tested to the limit as he works for his former enemies in the pursuit of justice.' --Waterstone's Books Quarterly
'A disgraced detective is called back to investigate the most famous murder in Russian history. A fantastic premise [and] what elevates this Russian period thriller above the ranks of the average potboiler is its mad, brilliant hero ... So far, the lead contender for beach book of the summer.' --Kirkus, US
`An absolute gem of a book - a riveting historical thriller with a fascinating protagonist . . . Pekkala is one of the most interesting characters I've come across in a long time. This is a smart, assured, impeccably-researched page-turner.'
--David Liss, author of The Whiskey Rebels and The Devil's Company
