Simon Sebag Montefiore - Éjszaka Moszkvában

Moscow, 1945. The city celebrates the end of the Great Patriotic War, which demanded enormous sacrifices, and millions await the arrival of a better future. But shots ring out in the crowded street, and after the noise dies down, a boy and a girl lie frozen in blood on the ground. The two dead are not just anyone: the children of high-ranking party functionaries, students of an elite school. Was it an accident or a murder? Could the two tragic deaths be part of a conspiracy against Stalin, or rather the machinations of the all-powerful master of the party and the country? An investigation begins, the relentless investigation forces a series of teenagers to testify against their parents and friends. Families are torn apart, and in the midst of a deranged witch hunt, a couple tries to keep the secret of their politically dangerous love - because in Stalin's country, honest feelings come at a terrible price. The final part of Simon Sebag Montefiore's Moscow trilogy is both a darkly atmospheric political thriller and a whirlwind historical novel, which paints an authentic picture of the perversion of the Stalinist regime and human destinies crushed by terror. "Continuous, stomach-churning terror - Montefiore brings Stalin's Soviet Union to life with astonishing authenticity. Night in Moscow is a captivating story of love, fear, self-sacrifice and survival."
