Knjiga je dobro očuvana: listovi su čisti i ravni, bez tragova pisanja i bez `magarećih ušiju` i čvrsto su povezani međusobno i sa koricama.

The story is set in post-Soviet Russia, in the mid-1990s, during the time of Boris Yeltsin.
The plot follows Fluke Kelso, a middle-aged, somewhat down-on-his-luck former Oxford historian who is in Moscow to attend a conference on the newly opened Soviet archives.
One night, Kelso is visited in his hotel room by an old NKVD officer, a former bodyguard of the secret police chief Lavrenty Beria. The old man claims to have been at Stalin`s dacha on the night Stalin had his fatal stroke, and to have helped Beria steal the dictator`s private papers, among them a notebook.
Kelso decides to use his last morning in Moscow to check out the old man`s story. But what starts as an idle inquiry in the Lenin Library soon turns into a murderous chase across nighttime Moscow and up to northern Russia--to the vast forests near the White Sea port of Archangel, where the final secret of Josef Stalin has been hidden for almost half a century.
Archangel combines the imaginative sweep and dark suspense of Fatherland with the meticulous historical detail of Enigma. The result is Robert Harris`s most compelling novel yet.

The novel was adapted into a BBC television miniseries in 2005, starring Daniel Craig as Fluke Kelso.

The best thriller for years - Sunday Telegraph

As the suspense builds, the reader needs to turn the pages ever faster... with Harris`s controlling foot on the narrative pedal, the reader has no choice but to ride, enthralled, towards the plunging abyss. - Natasha Fairweather, Observer

A very good thriller... I have never read a better description of the death of Stalin, anywhere. - Norman Stone, Sunday Times
