Kolymsky Heights

The book that came in from the cold; this much celebrated spy thriller on the Faber backlist is repackaged and reissued.

A sensational classic: this chilling tale of Siberian espionage is 'the best thriller I've ever read' (Philip Pullman) ranking with 'The Silence of the Lambs, Casino Royale and Smiley's People' (Spectator).

Description

The best thriller I've ever read. Philip Pullman

Kolymsky Heights. A Siberian permafrost hell lost in endless night, the perfect setting for an underground Russian research station. It's a place so secret it doesn't officially exist; once there, the scientists are forbidden to leave. But one scientist is desperate to get a message to the outside world. So desperate, he sends a plea across the wilderness to the West in order to summon the one man alive capable of achieving the impossible...

Sensationally good. Cleverly conceived and brilliantly executed. One of the great thrillers of the last century. Charles Cumming
