Synopsis:

Honored as a hero for his role in stopping a serial killer three years earlier, post-Stalinist Soviet Union MGB officer Leo Demidov is placed at the head of a newly formed Moscow homicide department and is forced to undertake a personal mission in the criminal underworld when dark elements from his past catch up with him.

Most of the characters in THE SECRET SPEECH would answer that all are guilty, so none deserve saving. It's a testament to the novel's potency that you agree, yet wish for salvation anyway."

New York Times Book Review - Dennis Lehane (06/21/2009)
