Punishment of a Hunter by Yulia Yakovleva
Babylon Berlin meets Boris Akunin in this atmospheric and relentlessly dark detective series set in Stalinist Russia.
“The miseries of the 1930s are vividly rendered in Punishment of a Hunter for an unsettling and gripping achievement”
--Crime Reads
“Outstanding... Yakovleva perfectly balances evoking the terror of living in a police state with her whodunit plotline. Fans of Martin Cruz Smith’s Arkady Renko will hope to see much more of Zaitsev.”
