Mother Russia

A Novel

About this book

A hustler uncovers a mysterious plot in this riveting thriller about crime and punishment in Soviet-era Moscow by the bestselling author of The Company. Like the Arkady Renko novels of Martin Cruz Smith, Robert Littell's masterful Mother Russia transports readers back in time and behind the Iron Curtain to experience the extremes of Soviet society. Robespierre Pravdin is a black marketeer who prowls Moscow's streets and alleys hustling wristwatches. Wishing only to survive in a city suffocated by paranoia and schizophrenia, Robespierre manages to make a tidy profit and stay under the state's radar—until, one day, he meets the woman called "Mother Russia" and becomes ensnared in the Byzantine and profoundly dangerous game of politics... This is another darkly engrossing page-turner from the bestselling author of The Sisters and The Defection of A. J. Lewinter.
