Taras Petrenko, an ambitious lieutenant in the Russian Security Service, is sieving through the Moscow archives of Stalin's regime when he stumbles over file N1247 - a case first opened by the Russian secret police two centuries earlier. He realises that three documents are missing which could, if found, alter the political balance of Europe. Meanwhile Kate, a London lawyer with Ukrainian roots, is seduced into the search for the missing will vital to authenticating a legendary and economy-busting claim. Anna Shevchenko has written an arresting thriller which is timely (given the recent election) window on Russia's centuries-old suppression of the Ukrainian national spirit. -- Jeremy Jehu, Telegraph Saturday 27 February 2010
