**Archangel by Robert Harris - Preloved Paperback** Stalin's dead, but his secrets are very much alive in this cracking historical thriller from Robert Harris. When historian Fluke Kelso stumbles upon Stalin's private notebook at a Moscow academic conference, he's thrust into a deadly game involving Soviet secrets, missing heirs, and people who'd rather kill than let the truth surface. Harris, the bloke who gave us *Fatherland* and *The Ghost*, knows how to spin Cold War paranoia into page-turning gold. This isn't your dusty academic history lesson – it's a proper chase through post-Soviet Russia where everyone's got an agenda and nobody's trustworthy. Perfect for fans of John le Carré, anyone obsessed with Soviet history, or thriller lovers who like their conspiracies served with actual historical meat on the bones. This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks has aged like fine vodka. *"Couldn't put it down – Harris makes Stalin's ghost feel genuinely terrifying."* *"Best historical thriller I've read in years. The atmosphere is incredible."*
