The two young girls he and his wife Raisa adopted have yet to forgive him for his part in the murder of their parents. They are not alone. Leo, Raisa and their family are in grave danger from someone with a grudge against Leo. Someone transformed beyond recognition into the perfect model of vengeance. Leo's desperate, personal mission to save his family will take him from the harsh Siberian Gulags, to the depths of the criminal underworld, to the centre of the Hungarian uprising - and into a hell where redemption is as brittle as glass."

  • "En Union soviétique, en 1949 et en 1956. Staline est mort, laissant un pays en plein chaos. Khroutchev promet le changement. Ex-agent du MGB, Leo Demidov est à la tête de son propre département de criminologie. Les langues se délient sur les atrocités commises durant le régime stalinien.

  • "Związek Radziecki, rok 1956, trzy lata po śmierci Stalina.W społeczeństwie, w którym władzę sprawują przestępcy, a niewinni siedzą w więzieniach i łagrach, kończy się okres najgorszego terroru w historii. Nikita Chruszczow obiecuje reformy, są jednak siły, które nie potrafią wybaczyć ani zapomnieć przeszłości. W stolicy Rosji dochodzi do serii tajemniczych samobójstw byłych funkcjonariuszy MGB oraz brutalnego morderstwa patriarchy Moskwy i Wszechrusi, splamionego krwią zadenuncjowanych duchownych. Ofiary łączy jedno: przed śmiercią otrzymały przesyłki z kopią tajnego referatu Chruszczowa, potępiającego stalinowskie zbrodnie. Śledztwo prowadzi Lew Demidow, były agent bezpieki, kierujący z założenia apolitycznym wydziałem zabójstw. Powołał go, by odkupić dawne winy. Dręczą go wyrzuty sumienia i poczucie klęski: jego adoptowane córki, Jelena i jej starsza siostra Zoja, nadal nie wybaczyły mu, iż przyczynił się do śmierci ich rodziców. Rodzinie Demidowa też zagraża śmiertelne niebezpieczeństwo. Chcąc ratować swych najbliższych, Lew musi odbyć wyprawę do jądra ciemności - gułagu położonego w najzimniejszej, najbardziej niedostępnej części Syberii, na Kołymie, oraz do Budapesztu, gdzie właśnie rozpoczęła się węgierska rewolucja."
