A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

'G.D. Abson is an author at the absolute top of his game' - David Young, bestselling author of STASI CHILD and STASI WOLF

'A twisty, fast-paced thriller' - The Times and Sunday Times Crime Club

***From the author of the Sunday Times Crime Club Star Pick MOTHERLAND.***

A young woman is found dead on the outskirts of St Petersburg on a freezing January morning. There are no signs of injury, and heavy snowfall has buried all trace of an attacker.

Captain Natalya Ivanova's investigation quickly links the victim to the Decembrists, an anti-Putin dissident group whose acts of civil disobedience have caught the eye of the authorities. And Natalya soon realises she is not the only one interested in the case, as government security services wade in and shut down her investigation almost before it has begun.

Before long, state media are spreading smear stories about the dead woman, and Natalya suspects the authorities have something to hide. When a second rebel activist goes missing, she is forced to go undercover to expose the truth. But the stakes are higher than ever before. Not only could her pursuit of the murderer destroy her career, but her family ties to one of the victims threaten to tear her personal life apart.

A captivating, pacy thriller that plunges right into the beating heart of Putin's Russia.

Praise for Motherland:

'Natalya Ivanova does for St Petersburg what Martin Cruz Smith's Arkady Renko did for Soviet-era Moscow. . . taut, fast-moving and compellingly believable.' TOM CALLAGHAN, author of A KILLING WINTER

'One of my favorite procedurals with a female lead set overseas was the Saudi trilogy by Zoe Ferraris. If the next two are as unique and satisfying as this, Abson's place beside Ferraris will be well earned.' MenReadingBooks.com

'Scandinavian noir takes a detour through Russia in this first in a new series featuring an idealistic policewoman surrounded by compromised officials and fellow policemen. . . Gritty, dark, fast-paced, and satisfying. Sno-Isle Libraries

'This is an absolute corker of a crime fiction thriller debut from the gifted Abson set in Putin's contemporary Russia, a fearsome, kleptocratic, scary and lawless nation.' NetGalley reviewer

Revue de presse :

'This is the best detective fiction set in Russia since Martin Cruz Smith's Arkady Renko series - fast-moving and gripping from the first pages. --Crime Review

'It was a huge page turner, and had me really on edge throughout.' --Sarah Jane Lamb, Book Blogger

'A thriller in all but name, it's beautifully paced; fast, but not breakneck, picking up speed organically as it goes. It's wonderfully executed, tailor-made to keep you turning pages.' --The Crime Review
