Notes of a Crime Journalist. Stories That Won't Let You Sleep

What is it like to work as a criminal journalist? The world of violence, cruelty, and injustice is laid bare in all its fullness for those who cover cases of terrifying murders and torture. On her own experience, this is known by Ekaterina Kalashnikova, author of a blog on criminal journalism and a reporter with more than 10 years of experience in federal media. Her desire for this profession comes from childhood—a secret murder of her father—and the oppressive atmosphere of criminal Togliatti in the 1990s left her with no choice. “Notes of a Criminal Journalist” is a high-quality combination of detective fiction, true story, and memoirs by a journalist who knows the harsh realities of the criminal world firsthand.
