Death of the Red Rider by Yulia Yakovleva
Detective Zaitsev is back to solve the murder of a Red Army horseman in this atmospheric and relentlessly dark detective series set in Stalinist Russia - for fans of Babylon Berlin and Boris Akunin
"Dark humor undercuts despair and sardonic wit compensates for failure.. Yakovleva captures the futility of living and working in such a blighted society, picking up the torch from Philip Kerr’s Bernie Gunther series”. — The New York Times
"Yakovleva's previous novel was an international hit. The follow-up suggests her investigator may become something of a Russian Montalbano."
--The Times (UK)
"Yakovleva’s historical realism is meticulous.. and sensually vivid"
-- Times Literary Supplement
“Brilliantly realised… devilishly cunning.”
--SHOTS
“Offers a brilliant interplay of Communist manipulation, Soviet terror, Tsarist survivals, military rifts and kulak opposition... A superb read, with some unexpected turns right at the end.”
--Crime Book of the Month, The Critic
