Child 44 Child 44
by Smith, Tom Rob
The remarkable achievement of Child 44 is its invocation of a paranoid, brutal Orwellian domain in which society's moral compass is spinning like a roulette wheel. This snowy, bitter world is realized with cinematic vividness, and the plot maintains a nerve-wracking tension throughout. A great thriller for people who don't always read this genre.--Ken A. White, SFSU Bookstore (San Francisco, CA)
