An Ordinary Execution - Marc Dugain - book

In August 2000, a Russian nuclear submarine sank into the accessible depths of the Barents Sea. Vania Altman is believed to be one of the last survivors. In a port in the Arctic Circle, the Altman family holds its breath: they risk once again colliding with history. Half a century after Stalin's death, a former KGB officer now rules Russia. After taking us behind the scenes at the FBI with The Curse of Edgar, Marc Dugain offers here a true fresco of contemporary Russia. Inspired by true events, it reveals the profound contempt for life displayed by the paranoid guardians of the Russian empire.
