"There is no crime."
Stalin's Soviet Union strives to be a paradise for its workers, providing for all of their needs. One of its fundamental pillars is that its citizens live free from the fear of ordinary crime and criminals.
But in this society, millions do live in fear . . . of the State. Death is a whisper away. The mere suspicion of ideological disloyalty-owning a book from the decadent West, the wrong word at the wrong time-sends millions of innocents into the Gulags or to their executions. Defending the system from its citizens is the MGB, the State Security Force. And no MGB officer is more courageous, conscientious, or idealistic than Leo Demidov.
A war hero with a beautiful wife, Leo lives in relative luxury in Moscow , even providing a decent apartment for his parents. His only ambition has been to serve his country. For this greater good, he has arrested and interrogated.
Then the impossible happens. A different kind of criminal-a murderer-is on the loose, killing at will. At the same time, Leo finds himself demoted and denounced by his enemies, his world turned upside down, and every belief he's ever held shattered. The only way to save his life and the lives of his family is to uncover this criminal. But in a society that is officially paradise, it's a crime against the State to suggest that a murderer-much less a serial killer-is in their midst. Exiled from his home, with only his wife, Raisa, remaining at his side, Leo must confront the vast resources and reach of the MBG to find and stop a criminal that the State won't admit even exists.
我就举几个最低端的例子,证明本书译者对苏俄的了解为〇。 “布洛德斯基”原书里为“Brodsky”,布罗茨基啊布罗茨基! 里奥的父亲竟然叫“斯蒂芬”!原文可是“Stepan”!稍微有点常识就知道该译作“斯捷潘”的吧。 还有地名,“鲁布央卡”就不说了,“科力马”“科利马”也...
评分首先我必须要表达对该书作者汤姆•罗伯•史密斯的敬意,虽然这是他的处女作却足够让很多悬疑小说名家汗颜了,或者该这么说,单单只是以悬疑恐怖推理这些标签来定义这部小说的恐怕有些不太适合,大部分以上的类型小说都很难与时代有强烈的契合感,换句话说那些小说可以随意...
评分“走进农舍,男孩的尸体不见了。炉子上放着一个大锅,锅里在咕噜咕噜冒泡,不知炖着什么。安娜领着他(主人公帕维尔)坐到炉旁,史蒂芬盛满满的一碗递给他。他低头盯着这碗热气腾腾的汤:碗里漂着压碎的橡实,关节和一条条的肉,史蒂芬和安娜看着他,史蒂芬说道:‘你本来会死...
评分Passable. More of a lone wolf adventure than a thriller or suspense, for the author hasn't put much mind into hiding/camouflaging the clues. The author uses the belief in family bonds and hatred towards political injustices to argue his case. Smart move, ot...

评分Passable. More of a lone wolf adventure than a thriller or suspense. The author hasn't put much mind into hiding/camouflaging the clues, relying mostly on the striking generational features.
