A propulsive, relentless page-turner.
A terrifying evocation of a paranoid world where no one can be trusted.
A surprising, unexpected story of love and family, of hope and resilience.
CHILD 44 is a thriller unlike any you have ever read.
"There is no crime."
Stalin's Soviet Union strives to be a paradise for its workers, providing for all of their needs. One of its fundamental pillars is that its citizens live free from the fear of ordinary crime and criminals.
But in this society, millions do live in fear . . . of the State. Death is a whisper away. The mere suspicion of ideological disloyalty-owning a book from the decadent West, the wrong word at the wrong time-sends millions of innocents into the Gulags or to their executions. Defending the system from its citizens is the MGB, the State Security Force. And no MGB officer is more courageous, conscientious, or idealistic than Leo Demidov.
A war hero with a beautiful wife, Leo lives in relative luxury in Moscow , even providing a decent apartment for his parents. His only ambition has been to serve his country. For this greater good, he has arrested and interrogated.
Then the impossible happens. A different kind of criminal-a murderer-is on the loose, killing at will. At the same time, Leo finds himself demoted and denounced by his enemies, his world turned upside down, and every belief he's ever held shattered. The only way to save his life and the lives of his family is to uncover this criminal. But in a society that is officially paradise, it's a crime against the State to suggest that a murderer-much less a serial killer-is in their midst. Exiled from his home, with only his wife, Raisa, remaining at his side, Leo must confront the vast resources and reach of the MBG to find and stop a criminal that the State won't admit even exists.
Tom Rob Smith graduated from Cambridge in 2001 and lives in London . Child 44 is his first novel.

There is no murder in a “perfect” world,so sarcastic.
評分也許正如作者在訪談中所提到的, 對於比羅斯托夫開膛手更可怕的戰後蘇聯政治體製的刻畫, 加上不輸反恐24小時前兩季中讓人窒息的緊張氣氛正是這部處女作如此成功的原因吧. 根據該書改編的電影計劃將於明年上映.

評分There is no murder in a “perfect” world,so sarcastic.
首先,我想说的是,太精彩了! 这一本读起来就让人放不下去的书,整本书从头到尾用着明确的节奏和美丽的语言,在我们的面前还原了某个时间,某个故事,某些人和他们做的那些事。 作为一个推理小说的写手,我常常会使用某些模式或者说桥段,比如:某人的恶意让他做出杀戮,或者...
評分翻译基本靠谱,从风格上来说,本书应该适用简短有力的句子,可有可无的字眼都应该删掉,如果译文能更简洁一点会更好。 可能美中不足的地方在于有些名词的翻译不太好。第96页提到的“尼基塔·克鲁什切夫”,其实就是赫鲁晓夫,此处的人名译法似乎不妥(奇怪的是本书结尾处对赫鲁...
評分“走进农舍,男孩的尸体不见了。炉子上放着一个大锅,锅里在咕噜咕噜冒泡,不知炖着什么。安娜领着他(主人公帕维尔)坐到炉旁,史蒂芬盛满满的一碗递给他。他低头盯着这碗热气腾腾的汤:碗里漂着压碎的橡实,关节和一条条的肉,史蒂芬和安娜看着他,史蒂芬说道:‘你本来会死...
評分我在写评论的时候,曾经经常愿意把“人性”这个词装饰进文章中,而大多数情况下除了能让文章显得冠冕堂皇一些之外,我并不清楚我为什么要加这个词,因为我还不完全清楚这个词的真正意义。我也曾经常的想,人性究竟是什么,而哪些又算是人性的特征,人性中所有的都是美好而善良...
評分被介绍吸引来看的,讲的是一个发生在前苏联时代的连环谋杀案。案件的侦破受当时时代的局限变得十分之棘手,“国家不承认这种案件。”调查的人也因此陷入危机。由此整本书的后半部分就变成主角为了调查案件所经历的惊险逃亡。 感觉情节上还是蛮紧凑刺激的,十分适合作为...
