Now a group of disenchanted former soldiers has begun its own smuggling operation, and what is being moved is infinitely stranger and more terrifying than anyone can imagine. Anyone, that is, except private detective Charlie Parker, who has his own intimate knowledge of the darkness in men`s hearts.

Drawing on a huge range of sources - letters, memoirs, conversations - Orlando Figes tells the story of how Russians tried to endure life under Stalin. Those who shaped the political system became, very frequently, its victims. Those who were its victims were frequently quite blameless. The Whisperers recreates the sort of maze in which Russians found themselves, where an unwitting wrong turn could either destroy a family or, perversely, later save it: a society in which everyone spoke in whispers - whether to protect themselves, their families, neighbours or friends - or to inform on them.

Three-times winner of the Eric Hosking Award for BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Vincent Munier takes us on a tour of this silent, frozen world. From the Far East to the Wild West, via the craggy peaks of the European Alps, we encounter swans, cranes, eagles, chamois, foxes, and many other animals in the hush of their stunning, snowbound habitats. Shadows, shapes, contours, and the occasional flash of color are all that reveal the creatures huddled into the snow and braced against the wind, quite in their element in the elements.
