Child 44

Child 44 - Thryft
Child 44 - Thryft

Soviet thriller unveils chilling state-sanctioned secrets.

"Child 44" is a masterclass in suspense set against a backdrop of historical oppression. The chilling atmosphere of Stalin's Soviet Union becomes a character of its own. As you journey with Leo, whose faith in the system gets ruthlessly challenged, you'll find yourself grappling with the paradoxes of humanity, justice, and survival. This book isn't just a story; it's a psychological experience that mirrors the era's paranoia and fear.

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.
