A suspensefull thriller set in Russia in the fifties. It shows the political system of spying, mistrust and repression in a psychological as well as physical way. The protagonist is a former war hero and member of the political system, who turns into an opponent of the system. I had to get used to the strange way of punctuation (direct speech is only signified by italic print). The story is too brutal for me - children killed and their livers eaten by the killer - and the plot is a little too far fetched. But still there is a lot of suspense in the book.
