About This Book
Present-day Russia is the setting for this stunning new novel from
Robert Harris, author of the bestsellers Fatherland and Enigma.
Archangel tells the story of four days in the life of Fluke Kelso, a
dissipated, middle-aged former Oxford historian, who is in Moscow to
attend a conference on the newly opened Soviet archives.
One night, Kelso is visited in his hotel room by an old NKVD officer, a
former bodyguard of the secret police chief Lavrenty Beria. The old man
claims to have been at Stalin's dacha on the night Stalin had his fatal
stroke, and to have helped Beria steal the dictator's private papers,
among them a notebook.
Kelso decides to use his last morning in Moscow to check out the old
man's story. But what starts as an idle inquiry in the Lenin Library
soon turns into a murderous chase across nighttime Moscow and up to
northern Russia--to the vast forests near the White Sea port of
Archangel, where the final secret of Josef Stalin has been hidden for
almost half a century.
Archangel combines the imaginative sweep and dark suspense of Fatherland
with the meticulous historical detail of Enigma. The result is Robert
Harris's most compelling novel yet.
Availability: Usually ships in 5~10 business days.
