Books by William Ryan

The Holy Thief
I have a new detective hero - Captain Alexei Korolev of the Moscow Militia's CID. Set in 1936 Stalinist Russia just as the pogroms are beginning, the author captures the edgy atmosphere of the city and a sense of conflicting beliefs as Communism takes over. The plot involves a stolen icon and is suitably convoluted, but it is Korolev who was the star - I will be looking for more.
