Tom Rob Smith ist vermutlich der Begründer meiner Vorliebe für politische Thriller. Sein Debüt „Kind 44“ trat in mein Leben, als ich längst genug hatte von ewig gleichen Psychothrillern. Die Geschichte des Agenten Leo Demidow, der versucht, in einem System Serienmorde aufzuklären, in dem es offiziel...

5/7 - Reading this book is making me HATE a country (I'm not sure if that's the right word, maybe it should be state), the Soviet Union to be exact.
