INSPIRED BY REAL EVENTS...
In the Soviet Union, there are no murders. In the Soviet Union, the truth is a lie.
Only one defiant officer has the courage to seek justice.
Moscow teeters on the brink of total chaos…Why was a foreign medical student brutally murdered, his mutilated body left hanging in a city park? In a world of corruption and deceit, maverick Detective Captain Viktor Voloshin is the only police officer prepared to uncover the truth.
★★★★★ "Denholm doesn't pull punches in revealing the grimy world of crime and cops in Moscow." — Amazon reviewer.
In this first novel in a gripping historical crime series, Voloshin races against time to prevent a catastrophe at the 70th Anniversary Revolution Day parade. Anonymous bomb threats, hidden agendas, and a web of deception threaten to derail the case.
Voloshin is met with lies and obstruction at every turn – from his own militsiya chief all the way to the Chairman of the KGB.
Investigations lead to an ultra-patriotic group of nationalists, a mysterious Canadian student in the shadows, and a network of deadly black market operations.
As the detective pieces the clues together, his own personal demons begin to impact on the case. Yet nothing will stop him from seeking the truth, buried deep in Moscow’s criminal underbelly.
The stakes rise dramatically as the city's anniversary celebrations edge ever closer . . .
Will Captain Voloshin find the killer despite the obstacles put in his way by a regime hell-bent on covering up the crime?
Revolution Day, the first book in the Russian Detective series, is a heart-stopping and captivating Cold War crime thriller you'll be thinking about long after you've finished reading it.
