Agent 6

Leo Demidov is a former Soviet security agent. When his wife, Raisa Demidova, who works as a teacher, is invited to the United States, during the Cold War, to accompany students to a presentation at UN headquarters, he suspects something is afoot. After an incident that leads to family tragedy, Leo stops at nothing to find the person responsible for the murder. So he pursues the few leads he has, crossing borders and breaking Soviet laws in search of the only person who seems capable of answering his questions: Agent 6. • "Smith displays, as in his other books, a remarkable ability to weave personal plots into world history." – LA Times • A thriller that depicts the horrors of Stalin's Soviet Union and the gulags. • The final book in the trilogy begun by Child 44, Tom Rob Smith's debut novel, which has already sold over 30,000 copies in Brazil. • The film based on Child 44 is already being filmed, with Ridley Scott at the helm of the project, and a release date scheduled for 2014.
