Robert Harris - Archangel (2nd Hand Paperback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9780099527930
Synopsis
Fluke Kelso was once a scholar of promise, but like so many in the highly competitive world of academia, he's never delivered. But one night, at a symposium in Moscow concerning the release of secret Soviet archives, he is approached by Papu Rapava, a former Kremlin bodyguard with a story to tell.
No one but the desperate Kelso would believe the tale, for what Rapava describes is a sort of Holy Grail among researchers: an actual diary left by Joseph Stalin himself. Such an artifact, if it's genuine - and if Kelso can survive the fascist Vladimir Mamantov, who wants it for his own agenda - would be the coup of a lifetime for the discredited researcher.
From the violent political intrigue and decadence of modern Moscow he heads north - to the vast forests surrounding the White Sea port of Archangel, and a terrifying encounter with Russia's unburied past.
