THE SUN
Moscow, 1934. When the body of an archaeologist connected to the construction of the glittering new Moscow subway is discovered in a deserted mansion, Procuracy Investigator Anton Belkin initially wants nothing to do with the case. It will mean asking difficult questions of the wrong people, and Anton has a reason to keep his head down. But he has not reckoned with Vika, his former lover and now a powerful member of the secret police, who is adamant Anton is the best man for the job.
Deep underground, Anton discovers a priceless secret. Yet excavating it will mean disturbing a complex web of political and personal rivalries, deceptions and betrayals. Soon Anton must make a choice between the truth, and everything else he holds dear.

‘Both a brilliant thriller and a historical record of the ambition, terror and deviousness of that black era in Russian history’ Gareth Rubin, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Turnglass
Catherine Merridale is an award-winning writer and broadcaster with an internationally acknowledged expertise in Russia and the former Soviet Union. A pioneer of oral history in the region, her first major book, Night of Stone (Granta, 2000), won the Royal Society of Literature's Heinemann Prize and was shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize in 2001. More recently, Red Fortress: The Secret Heart of Russia's History (Allen Lane, 2013) won both the Wolfson History Prize and the Pushkin House Russian Book Prize in 2014. Ivan's War (Faber, 2005) tells the stories of ordinary Red Army soldiers in Europe's last great land-based war, while Lenin on the Train (Allen Lane, 2016) tracks Europe's collective and bungling responsibility for the Great October Revolution.
