Kolymsky Heights

LoveReading Says

Maxim Jakubowski March 2015 Highly Recommended.

Lauded quite rightly by Philip Pullman, who supplies a new introduction, as the best thriller he's ever read, this is an indispensable reissue. Set in the white desolation of a Siberian research station hitherto unknown to the world at large, the tale follows the quest of native-Canadian Indian Johnny Porter to reach the station hidden amongst the permafrost and answer the call from an old friend before the world is shattered by terrible revelations.

Volcanically atmospheric, peopled with a palette of exquisitely-drawn and conflicted characters, this is a spy thriller that never lets up and insidiously slithers its way into your brain, never to leave. On a par with the best of Le Carre and truthfully exciting to the max. Unmissable. Will make you feel both cold and breathless as you read along!
