This is the first comprehensive biography of Lavrentii Beria, Stalin's notorious police chief and for many years his most powerful lieutenant. Beria has long symbolized all the evils of Stalinism, haunting the public imagination both in the West and in the former Soviet Union. Yet because his political opponents expunged his name from public memory after his dramatic arrest and execution in 1953, little has been previously published about his long and tumultuous career.

Russia is no stranger to political murder, from the Tsars and the Soviets to the Putin regime, during which many journalists, activists and political opponents have been slain. However convenient these deaths are for Putin, Kremlin defenders like to assert that there is no evidence against him, and because Putin controls all the investigations, he is never seen holding a smoking gun. This book provides new information about the most famous victims - such as Alexander Litvinenko, the former secret service officer who was poisoned while living in London, and the statesman Boris Nemtsov, who was murdered outside the Kremlin in 2015 - and traces Putin's journey from the Federal Security Service (FSB) in the late 1990s to his subsequent rise to absolute power as the Kremlin's leader today. Long hidden in plain sight, this is a chilling story with huge ramifications.
