Moskva is a brilliantly written, chilling & sophisticated debut serial killer thriller set in Cold War Moscow. Makes Kolymsky Heights look like a walk in Gorky Park. Red Square, 1985. The naked body of a young man is left outside the walls of the Kremlin; frozen solid
- like marble to the touch

Army Intelligence Officer Tom Fox, posted to Moscow to keep him from telling the truth to a government committee, is asked to help find her. It`s a shot at redemption. But Russia is reluctant to give up the worst of her secrets. As Fox`s investigation sees him dragged deeper towards the dark heart of a Soviet establishment determined to protect its own so his fears grow, with those of the girl`s father, for Alex`s safety. & if Fox can`t find her soon, she looks likely to become the next victim of a sadistic killer whose story is bound tight to that of his country`s terrible past.. .
