The Darkening Field (Captain Alexei Dimitrevich Korolev 2)
William Ryan
A dedicated policeman caught in terrifying
circumstances, Captain Alexei Korolev of Criminal Investigation Division
of the Moscow Militia may be unwavering in his outward party loyalty
but he is forever conflicted about what he must do to maintain that good
standing.
It is 1937, and Korolev finds himself on an airplane
bound for Odessa after the suspicious suicide of Maria Alexandrovna
Lenskaya, a loyal young party member who supposedly had an illicit
intimate relationship with the party director. His instructions are to
determine if her suicide was actually a cover-up for murder, and if so,
to find her killer, but under no circumstances reveal her close ties to
the director.
Maria was working on the set of a movie subsidized
by the state, and between everyone involved in the production, her
journalist boyfriend, and countless nosy locals, the pool of possible
suspects is large and daunting. Korolev finds help from several quarters
that are every bit as ominous as they are useful, but none of them can
make up for the one important fact of his case which he cannot discuss.
Moral,
loyal, and also committed to justice, Captain Alexei Korolev is trapped
between the demands of the party and those of the truth. As a result he
is one of the most intriguing figures in crime fiction, and he makes The Darkening Field another shocking and devastatingly true-to-history thriller from William Ryan.
