Publisher's synopsis: An amazingly assured and exciting debut thriller set in Soviet Russia in l953. Child 44 is a harrowing portrayal of the terror inflicted upon people by their own government, the disturbing truth of what it means to survive beneath a dictatorship, what happens when one man decides to go against everything he believed in. Book review: Not since Gorky Park has a thriller captured so brilliantly the claustrophobia of life in Soviet Russia. Review by: Raoul Slater Awards Award: Winner, Thriller Award Year: 2009 Prize: Best First Novel Classifications: Prize Winning Fiction, Prize Winning Category: Fiction Thriller
