Product Information

His Bob Lee Swagger series took the world by storm in the 90s, and he has a new collection of novellas this month featuring Bob Lee, Earl and Charles. This is only one of the dangers that Leo faces: there is now a ruthless enemy on his trail – as ruthless as Leo was himself in the days of his authority and acclaim. The two are a curious pair, similar on many levels, both passionate believers, yet whereas Leo’s idealism cracks, Austin’s remains unbreakable even when his career and wealth are taken from him, even when confronted with the awful truth of the Soviet regime. Leo refuses to support the accusation and he is forced to take a demeaning militia position in the town of Volsk.

The catalyst comes when a secret manifesto composed by Stalin's successor Khrushchev is distributed to the entire nation. From the streets of Moscow in the throes of political upheaval, to the Siberian gulags and the Hungarian uprising in Budapest, The Secret Speech is a breathtaking novel that confirms Tom Rob Smith as one of the most exciting authors writing today. He gets caught in the crossfire between Putin's army and the Wolves, a rogue team of Ukraine partisans.He is determined to carry out investigations but the problem is how can he investigate a crime that does not exist? I love the characters and they were the reason I read all 3 books but as far as the actual story, the 2 successors to Child 44 were not up to par. Excellent insight into the mental challenges of dealing with the collapse of your foundational belief system.
