One detective. One murder. A nation of lies. Detective Captain Viktor Voloshin, a maverick in the Moscow militsiya, is determined to uncover the truth behind the brutal murder of a foreign medical student, whose mutilated body was left hanging in a city park. As Voloshin investigates, he finds himself entangled in a web of deception, facing obstruction from his own superiors and the KGB itself. With anonymous bomb threats looming over the impending 70th anniversary Revolution Day parade, the detective must navigate a treacherous landscape of ultra-patriotic nationalists, an enigmatic Canadian student and a sinister black-market network. While his personal demons threaten to overshadow the case, Voloshin remains unwavering in his pursuit of justice. As the stakes rise and the oppressive regime seeks to cover up the crime, his investigation leads him into the dark heart of Moscow's criminal underbelly. Will Captain Voloshin's tenacity be enough to unravel the truth and prevent a catastrophe? Or will the obstacles implemented by the corrupt regime prove too powerful to overcome? Revolution Day, the first book in Blair Denholm's The Russian Detective series, is a heart-stopping and captivating Cold War crime thriller, one you'll be thinking about long after you've finished reading. ________________________________________________________________________Praise for The Russian Detective series:?????
