Leo Demidov, a young decorated war hero, now an idealistic security officer, is beginning to see the hypocrisy&nbsp;of the Soviet government. &nbsp;Because all are equal there will be no crime. &nbsp;Murder, especially is a symptom of Western corruption. &nbsp;Soviet murderers like all criminals must be mentally ill.<\/p>\n<p>When Leo looks into the case of a boy supposedly killed when struck by a train, he discovers the boy may have been murdered by a serial killer of children. &nbsp;Told to back off, Leo refuses and finds himself at odds with not only his fellow officers but higher ranking Soviet officials. &nbsp;Soon enough Leo and his wife are under investigation and from there the book really takes off.<\/p>\n<p>To say more would deprive the reader of a great ride. &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0446572764?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=craizabls&amp;camp=1789&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;creativeASIN=0446572764\">Child 44<\/a> has more twists and turns than any book in recent memory. &nbsp;Tom Rob Smith has created a page turner that shocks, surprises and thrills. &nbsp;I loved every page of it and look forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/2017\/z022517zview_child44_author.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/logo\/zview_a.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Child 44 (The Child 44 Trilogy)&nbsp;by Tom Rob Smith First sentence&#8230; Since Maria had decided to die her cat would<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61,52,51,74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-authors","category-books","category-crime","category-z-view"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17426"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17426\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23892,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17426\/revisions\/23892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
