Tom Rob Smith-the author whose debut,
Child 44, has been called "brilliant" Chicago Tribune,
"remarkable" Newsweek and "sensational" Entertainment
Weekly-returns with an intense, suspenseful new novel: a story
where the sins of the past threaten to destroy the present, where
families must overcome unimaginable obstacles to save their loved
ones, and where hope for a better tomorrow is found in the most
unlikely of circumstances . . .
THE SECRET SPEECH
Soviet Union, 1956. Stalin is dead, and a violent regime is
beginning to fracture-leaving behind a society where the police are
the criminals, and the criminals are innocent. A secret speech
composed by Stalin''s successor Khrushchev is distributed to the
entire nation. Its message: Stalin was a tyrant. Its promise: The
Soviet Union will change.
Facing his own personal turmoil, former state security officer
Leo Demidov is also struggling to change. The two young girls he
and his wife Raisa adopted have yet to forgive him for his part in
the death of their parents. They are not alone. Now that the truth
is out, Leo, Raisa, and their family are in grave danger from
someone consumed by the dark legacy of Leo''s past career. Someone
transformed beyond recognition into the perfect model of
vengeance.
From the streets of Moscow in the throes of political upheaval,
to the Siberian gulags, and to the center of the Hungarian uprising
in Budapest, THE SECRET SPEECH is a breathtaking, epic novel that
confirms Tom Rob Smith as one of the most exciting new authors
writing today.
