Opis

1939: Für den kommenden Krieg hat Stalin ein Monster aus Stahl gebaut, den T-34, auch "The Red Coffin" genannt. Als der Erbauer des Panzers ermordet aufgefunden wird, braucht Stalin die Hilfe seines besten Ermittlers: Pekkala. Denn er ist überzeugt, dass die Deutschen die Pläne des T-34 gestohlen haben und der Einmarsch kurz bevor steht. It is 1939. The world stands on the brink of Armageddon. In the Soviet Union, years of revolution, fear and persecution have left the country unprepared to face the onslaught of Nazi Germany. For the coming battles, Stalin has placed his hopes on a 30-ton steel monster, known to its inventors as the F-34 tank and the 'Red Coffin' to those men who will soon be using it. But the design is not yet complete. And when Colonel Nagorski, the weapon's secretive and eccentric architect, is found murdered, Stalin sends for Pekkala, his most trusted investigator. Once the favorite of the Tsar, and known to all Russia as the Emerald Eye, Pekkala was captured by Bolsheviks and spent years in a Siberian gulag. Released in order to continue his detective work, Pekkala is torn between his memories of the extravagance of Tsarist Russia, and the grim realities of Stalin's Soviet Union. Now in the service of the man who was once his greatest enemy, Pekkala's loyalties are also divided between the present and the past. The Emerald Eye is not the only one. A sinister group calling itself the White Guild, made up of former soldiers of the Tsar, may be behind the death of Colonel Nagorski. Stalin is convinced that the White Guild have stolen plans of the T-34 and that they intend to bring about a German invasion before the Red Coffin is ready. While Soviet engineers struggle to complete the design, Pekkala must track down the White Guild and expose their plans to propel Germany and Russia into conflict. Since the publication of Eye of the Red Tsar in 2010, Sam Eastland's Inspector Pekkala has become an international sensation, delighting readers of historical crime thrillers in more than a dozen languages and is destined to become a classic of the genre.
