MOSCOW, 1953.
Under Stalin’s terrifying regime, families live in fear. When the all-powerful State claims there is no such thing as crime, who dares disagree?

An ambitious secret police officer, Leo Demidov believes he’s helping to build the perfect society. But when he uncovers evidence of a killer at large – a threat the state won’t admit exists – Demidov must risk everything, including the lives of those he loves, in order to expose the truth.
But what if the danger isn’t from the killer he is trying to catch, but from the country he is fighting to protect?

Nominated for seventeen international awards and inspired by a real-life investigation, CHILD 44 is a relentless story of love, hope and bravery in a totalitarian world. From the screenwriter of the acclaimed television series, THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY.

Brilliant

An outstanding story that is a deep & frightening commentary on the reality of communism. I think it should be a set work in high school. Insidious, all encompassing fear is the rule, the constant, the control.. absolutely brilliant.

Entranced to the end…

Great story well performed & kept me totally entranced to the end, not my usual genre but well written. This is the send book I’ve read by Tom Rob Smith I will be most certainly listening to the others,
