What to expect

When historian Fluke Kelso learns of the existence of a secret notebook belonging to Josef Stalin he is determined to track it down, whatever the consequences. From the violent political intrigue and decadence of modern Moscow he heads north - to the vast forests surrounding the White Sea port of Archangel, and a terrifying encounter with Russia's unburied past.

Critics Review

The best thriller for years

Sunday Telegraph

His best yet: a fast paced thriller, pulsing with suspense, that surpasses even the expertly handled tensions and twists of Fatherland

Sunday Times

Robert Harris confirms his position as Britain’s pre-eminent literary thriller writer with Archangel

The Times

A really gripping narrative, full of suspense and unexpected turns, which will keep you hooked until the climax on its final page… I have never read a thriller based in Russia which has such an authentic feel

Evening Standard

Archangel is Harris’s strongest book yet, confirming him as the leading current exponent of the intelligent literary thriller

The Times

As the suspense builds, the reader needs to turn the pages ever faster… with Harris’s controlling foot on the narrative pedal, the reader has no choice but to ride, enthralled, towards the plunging abyss

Observer

I remained immersed in this marvellous book until its culmination arrived with depressing swiftness…Readers of Archangel are in for an exciting ride. They will also learn a lot

Literary Review

Nerve tingling… nobody is more adept… a talent for heart-poundingly tense story-telling and an ability to conjure up atmospheres almost palpable with menace

Sunday Times

More from the same
