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.

神棍预测:本书或许有续集(轻度涉及剧透)
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
这是一本非常精彩的书,强烈推荐! ~~~~~~~~~未读慎入~~~~~~~~~~~ 下面是神棍预测,欢迎拍砖~ 书中说,安德雷被杀时候,他的女儿目睹了一切。作者说,“她露出了和她爸爸一样的愤怒”。这一句很可能是个暗示。 另外,在那种社会里,她背负着叛国者... (展开)《44号孩子》:悲剧源于集权社会下的粉饰

There is no murder in a “perfect” world,so sarcastic.

也许正如作者在访谈中所提到的, 对于比罗斯托夫开膛手更可怕的战后苏联政治体制的刻画, 加上不输反恐24小时前两季中让人窒息的紧张气氛正是这部处女作如此成功的原因吧. 根据该书改编的电影计划将于明年上映.
