Description

Margareta Hemlin is the author of the novels “Klotzvog,” “The Extreme,” and the collection of stories and novellas “The Living Queue.” She is a finalist for the “Big Book” award and the “Russian Booker.” In the novel “The Investigator,” as in all her books, behind an adventurous plot lies a harsh picture of Soviet life in the 1930s—1950s.

A young woman is murdered in a provincial Ukrainian town. Is it a criminal offense—or part of a political conspiracy? Everyone is suspected. In everything. “The Investigator” is the incomparable language of the era and place, a special manner of thinking. It’s destinies born out of fantastical circumstances of real life—and characters that no one else in literature has described.
