Description
In 1963, a shocking event shook the world: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In a desolate Russian penal colony, a radio broadcasts this news, setting off a chain of events that will test the loyalty and morality of one man. Alexander Vasin, a disgraced KGB officer, is sent to a brutal gulag camp to disappear. But when a violent revolt breaks out, Vasin must decide whether to run or die. With a mysterious prisoner in tow, he must stay one step ahead of the ruthless intelligence organization that will stop at nothing to silence him. As Vasin navigates the bleak Siberian wastelands and the grey streets of Soviet Moscow, he is forced to confront the ultimate choice: fall in line or die fighting the system. Weaving together a critical moment in history with the cut-throat machinations of Soviet politics, this tautly told and nail-bitingly atmospheric novel is a superb Cold War thriller. With its tense and authentic portrayal of life in a Soviet gulag, this book is a gripping pacey read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
