Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Moskva by Jake Grimwood, read by Daniel Weyman.
Moskva is a brilliantly written, chilling and sophisticated début serial killer thriller set in Cold War Moscow. Makes Kolymsky Heights look like a walk in Gorky Park.
Red Square, 1985. The naked body of a young man is left outside the walls of the Kremlin: frozen solid - like marble to the touch - and missing the little finger from his right hand.
A week later Alex Marston, the headstrong 15-year-old daughter of the British ambassador, disappears. Army intelligence officer Tom Fox, posted to Moscow to keep him from telling the truth to a government committee, is asked to help find her. It's a shot at redemption. But Russia is reluctant to give up the worst of her secrets.
As Fox's investigation sees him dragged deeper towards the dark heart of a Soviet establishment determined to protect its own, so his fears grow, with those of the girl's father, for Alex's safety. And if Fox can't find her soon, she looks likely to become the next victim of a sadistic killer whose story is bound tightly to that of his country's terrible past....
Critic Reviews
"A first-rate thriller - Moskva grips from the very first page. Heartily recommended." (William Ryan, author of The Twelfth Department) < br />"A compulsive and supremely intelligent thriller from a master stylist." (Michael Marshall, author of The Straw Men)
'"Hard to know what to praise first here: the operatic sweep of this mesmerising novel; the surefooted orchestration of tension; or the vividly realised sense of time and place; all of these factors mark Jack Grimwood's Moskva out as something special in the arena of international thrillers." (Barry Forshaw, author of Brit Noir)
"Grimwood is a damned fine writer." ( Independent)

Great Write
A great suspenseful opener for the Tom Fox trilogy. The character depth and attention time line detail builds this this great thriller.

Moskova
Well written. Interesting character development. Intriguing. Maybe too descriptive in parts, but a deep enough storyline to sustain .

Like waiting for paint to dry, for excitement
It sent me to sleep each night thinking I am missing the point. However the point was a dreary self obsessed man recounting a dull as could be life. He should have stayed in the burning house and we could have had a five page short story
