Meer over het boek
Moscow, 1934. The city's new subway is under construction, but the past looms large as Russia's leaders strive to build a glorious Soviet capital. Anton Belkin, an Investigator at the Procuracy, must navigate this treacherous landscape, especially as he has a complicated history tied to the revolutionary avant-garde through his artist father, whose dreams clash with Stalin's oppressive regime. When Anton is reluctantly pulled into the murder of a prominent archaeologist involved in the subway project, he finds himself in a perilous situation. His former lover, Vika, now a powerful member of the secret police, pressures him to visit the crime scene. Despite his reservations, Anton embarks on an investigation that risks his life. Deep underground, he uncovers a priceless secret that could reshape the future, entangling him in a brutal power struggle within the nascent Soviet state. As he delves deeper, Anton is compelled to confront his shared history with Vika and the complex ties that connect them. This sweeping narrative explores themes of life, death, and politics amid the shifting sands of Stalin's tyranny.
