Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Set in 1950s Soviet Russia, this attracted much attention at last year's London Book Fair. KGB officer Leo is blindly faithful to the Party Line - until he is ordered to arrest his own wife. Film rights for Smith's thrilling debut have already been sold to Ridley Scott.

Publisher's description:

An amazingly assured and exciting debut, set in Soviet Russia in l953, with a wonderfully realised sense of all-pervading fear and the desperateness of a chilling race against time. How do you solve an impossible crime?
