G.D. Abson brings British crime-writing craft to a Russian setting with the Natalya Ivanova thrillers. Motherland (2018) and Black Wolf (2019) follow a detective in contemporary St. Petersburg, where criminal investigations intersect with political corruption and social tension.
The Russian setting distinguishes Abson’s work from most British crime fiction, and Detective Ivanova operates in a world where the rules are different and the stakes can shift without warning. The two books deliver taut, atmospheric thrillers that draw on their unusual location for both plot and mood.
