‘Natalya Ivanova does for St Petersburg what Martin Cruz Smith’s Arkady Renko did for Soviet-era Moscow. . . taut, fast-moving and compellingly believable’
This is the review I wrote for Motherland when I was sent an advanced reading copy, and I meant every word of it.
‘Motherland’ is the first in a new series featuring an idealistic policewoman surrounded by compromised officials and fellow policemen.
Set in Vladimir Putin’s home town, Captain Natalya Ivanova is tasked with finding missing student Zena Dahl, the daughter of a Swedish millionaire. Her wealthy family are putting the force under pressure to get quick results. But as always in Russia, nothing is as it seems…
Anyone who enjoys my books, will relish ‘Motherland’ and its successor ‘Black Wolf.
I’m impatiently waiting for Book Three…
