Rob Smith has written a cracking story about the powerlessness of the individual under Stalin’s purges, even if the individual happens to be the wife of a decorated war hero now working for the feared State Security Police. When Leo Demidov is asked to investigate his own wife, he knows that, whether she is innocent or guilty, the consequences will be the same in a regime where guilt is assumed and prisoners routinely tortured to procure confessions. Pacey’s reading is suitably bleak.
