The Soviets control the city, but White armies menace them from the West. No man trusts his neighbour and any spark of resistance may ignite into open rebellion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Samson Kolechko's father is murdered, his last act is to save his son from a falling Cossack sabre. Deprived of his right ear instead of his head, Samson is left an orphan, with only his father's collection of abacuses for company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil, that is, his flat is requisitioned by two Red Army soldiers, whose secret plans Samson is somehow able to overhear with uncanny clarity. Eager to thwart them, he stumbles into a world of murder and intrigue that will either be the making of him - or finish what the Cossack started.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInflected with Kurkov's signature humour and magical realism, The Silver Bone takes inspiration from the real life archives of crime enforcement agencies in Kyiv, crafting a propulsive narrative that bursts to life with rich historical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JUST BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43227658780787,"sku":"9781529426502","price":165.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/7176_doQMfL._SL1500.jpg?v=1755595208","url":"https:\/\/readerswarehouse.us\/products\/9781529426502","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
