When historian Fluke Kelso learns of the existence of a secret notebook belonging to Josef Stalin he is determined to track it down, whatever the consequences. From the violent political intrigue and decadence of modern Moscow he heads north - to the vast forests surrounding the White Sea port of Archangel, and a terrifying encounter with Russia's unburied past.

The gripping story was impossible to stop listening to, for it was brilliantly read and evocatively written.

Gripping story

I read a lot, and many books are ho hum, but this book by Robert Harris is one of the best. It could be called alternative history, but he sets his work firmly in an historical background. Harris’s descriptive portions are accomplished with minimal wordiness. Dinginess, wet cold, dirt, tension, underlying conflict are all here.

A fascinating story, well researched and tautlybut descriptively written. It engaged me from the beginning.
The only issue was the narration at the begin was hard to follow, but was brilliant in holding the mood as the story progressed.

A real thriller

Fascinating and riveting! Harris's vivid almost palpable depictions of characters and settings superbly dramatised by one of the best narrators around, Michael Kitchen! Despite an unauthentic American accent, he succeeds in developing each character, and offering to the listener an intimate portrayal of Harris's panoply of personae; his modulation of timbre and pacing creating a sense of atmosphere that is almost visceral.

Brilliant!
