Inspector Pekkala – known as the Emerald Eye – was the most famous detective in all Russia, and a favourite of the Tsar. Now, like millions of others, he is a prisoner in a Siberian gulag – as good as dead.

But then he is summoned by Stalin himself to investigate a crime. His mission: to uncover the men who really killed the Tsar and his family, and to locate the Tsar's treasure. The reward for success will be his freedom and the chance to re-unite with a woman he would have married if the Revolution had not torn them apart. The price of failure: death.

Set against the backdrop of Stalin's paranoid and brutal rule,

Eye of the Red Tsar introduces a compelling new detective to fans of Robert Harris, David McCloskey and Lee Child.
