Description

A searing thriller about the legacy of Stalin. In 1948, Aleksandr is sent to an isolated psychiatric clinic in Russia to investigate a patient who has been presumed dead for twenty-four years. The case haunts him, and as his faith under threat, he begins to interrogate his memories and their impact on himself and those closest to him. Twenty-four years later, the past comes back to haunt Aleksandr once more. David Szalay's psychologically intricate novel is a flawlessly researched exploration of the human psyche, set against the backdrop of the Cold War. With its impressive portrayal of a complex character, this book is a gripping read that will keep you turning the pages. A deeply unsettling and thought-provoking thriller, The Innocent is a worthwhile read for fans of psychological suspense.
