From Evan Gershkovich, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was detained in Russia in 2023 and held for nearly 500 days, comes a gripping, deeply human memoir that is also a portrait of a country and its people.

The child of Soviet émigrés who settled in New Jersey, Gershkovich grew up speaking Russian at home and eating at Russian groceries in Brighton Beach. In 2017, he moved to Moscow to launch his journalism career, and fell in love with the language, the culture, and the friends he made there. Then, in March 2023, he was arrested on charges of espionage, thrown into the infamous Lefortovo prison, and turned into a pawn in a high-stakes game between governments. Even behind bars, he kept reporting, documenting a prison system few outsiders ever see, as well as the moments of unexpected humanity inside it.

Part captivity memoir, part reported history, and part love letter to a complicated country, this book tells the story behind the headlines: his arrest, his time in custody, and the historic multi-country prisoner exchange that brought him home.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

• Memoir and narrative nonfiction
• True stories of survival and resilience
• Journalism and foreign correspondent stories
• Russian history, culture, and politics
• Geopolitics and current affairs
• Immigrant and family stories
