Detective Captain Viktor Voloshin, a maverick in the Moscow militsiya, is determined to uncover the truth behind the brutal murder of a foreign medical student, whose mutilated body was left hanging in a city park.
As Voloshin investigates, he finds himself entangled in a web of deception, facing obstruction from his own superiors and the KGB itself. With anonymous bomb threats looming over the impending 70th anniversary Revolution Day parade, the detective must navigate a treacherous landscape of ultra-patriotic nationalists, an enigmatic Canadian student and a sinister black-market network.
While his personal demons threaten to overshadow the case, Voloshin remains unwavering in his pursuit of justice. As the stakes rise and the oppressive regime seeks to cover up the crime, his investigation leads him into the dark heart of Moscow's criminal underbelly.
Will Captain Voloshin's tenacity be enough to unravel the truth and prevent a catastrophe? Or will the obstacles implemented by the corrupt regime prove too powerful to overcome?
Revolution Day, the first book in Blair Denholm's The Russian Detective series, is a heart-stopping and captivating Cold War crime thriller, one you'll be thinking about long after you've finished reading.

Blair Denholm is a born-and-bred Australian crime fiction writer whose previous jobs have been as varied as translator, debt collector, technology researcher, banking and insurance consultant, and even car-wash attendant. Over the years he has lived and worked in New York, Moscow, Munich, Abu Dhabi and Australia. His life-long love of sports is reflected in the plots of the Fighting Detective series. His flagship series, The Fighting Detective, stars ex-boxer Detective Sergeant Jack Lisbon and is set in the steamy tropics of North Queensland, Australia. The series features heavy doses of noir crime with a vigilante justice twist. So far there are eight novels and one prequel novella in the series, with more in the pipeline. Denholm's debut novel, SOLD, is the first in a noir trilogy featuring the detestable yet lovable one-man wrecking ball Gary Braswell. The book was long-listed for movie adaptation by Screen Queensland in 2019. The other books in this series are Sold to the Devil and Sold Dirt Cheap. Denholm has also written two thriller novels set in Russia. Captain Viktor Voloshin is a hard-boiled investigator who has to fight the establishment in order for justice to be served in his own special way. The first in this series, Revolution Day, was published in 2021, with the follow-up, The Defector, released in 2024. One more book will round off this series. He grew up in suburban Brisbane, Queensland. After two lengthy stints in Tasmania, he now resides in the relatively cooler climes of the Southern Downs region of Queensland with his partner, Sandra, and faithful dog, Bruno.
